Apache ActiveMQ

If you are in search of a capable server for messaging and Integration Patterns, a renowned option focused on high-performance client-server, peer-based communication would be Apache ActiveMQ.

Boasting support for a wide spectrum of both cross-language clients and protocols from PHP, C, C++, Java, Perl, Ruby, and Pearl, Apache ActiveMQ can handle Enterprise Integration Patterns not only in the Message Broken but also the JMS client.

Aside from that, advanced capabilities are integrated, and among them are Virtual and Composite Destinations, Message Groups, as well as Wildcard.

It is also worth pointing out that embedding Apache Active MQ into Spring program is possible, and support for both JMS 1.1 and J2EE 1.4 is provided as well, with persistent, transient, transactional, and XA messaging being on the list of features. It is also worth pointing out that servers such as Geronimo, TomEE, GlassFish, JBoss, and Weblogic should pose no difficulty whatsoever.

As for the pluggable transport protocols Apache ActiveMQ supports, it should be said that TCP, in-VM, SSL, NIO, UDP, JGroups are among them. Moreover, fast persistence and a high-performance journal are guaranteed when turning to JDBC.

Other than that, it is worth noting that dropping Apache ActiveMQ into CXF and Axis is possible and should ensure reliable messaging.
