Hi, I've been reading up on MOMs and xmlblaster caught my eye :)
I am in the planning stages of adding a message bus to tie together a handful of (mostly) java server components. I don't want to use JMS as i anticipate deploying components in other languages (C++). We don't currenly use any messaging middleware. There are currently around 500 msgs/second we would want to send, the majority of which we would want in one publish/subscribe group. I anticipate adding another busy group in a few months, reaching a total or around 10,000 msgs/second by the end of the year. There would be 1 or 2 apps publishing, and 3 or 4 subscribing to the bulk of the messages. It appears xmlblaster will scale nicely by chaining servers together in master-slave formation. What i'm especially interested in is the hardware requirements for suporting the message volume outlined above; namely 10,000 msgs/second where each msg is <=1KB in size. Anyone running xmlblaster with this sort of msg volume+size, or higher? Can you quote your hardware spec and message volume please? :) Regards, Richard PS: FWIW the other system i want to test is Spread.. but i dislike the advertising clause in their license agreement.
