Open Source Message Queuing System

Posted by Zonk on from the web-services-with-a-smile dept.

psicode writes "John Davies has announced AMQ, an effort at JPMorgan Chase & Co. to create an open-source message queuing system that can compete with proprietary message systems like IBM MQSeries and Tibco/RV. The announcement was made at the annual conference Web Services on Wall Street during Davies' presentation on February 1. eWeek has an article today with more details and some funny statements about Red Hat, SuSE and Sun possibly integrating AMQ into their "kernel". If JPMorgan Chase & Co. follows through with their announcement and they come up with a suitable open-source license, AMQ could become the Apache of messaging systems."

  1. MQSeries by sapped · · Score: 2, Troll

    We have had MQSeries at each IBM implementation that I have worked at (SAP software).

    My perception of MQ is that we would be better off throwing it away and FTPing files back and forth while using SAP's job control to kick things off. I cannot imagine how many weeks we have lost in a production environment because of some fiddly piece of junk involved in the MQ process decided to hiccup.
