Red Hat Spins Off JBoss 2.x As HornetQ

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the strip-mine-rename-and-release dept.

Several sources are reporting that Red Hat has spun off the 2.x release of the JBoss messaging protocol as HornetQ. The 1.x version of JBoss is still being supported in maintenance mode and will continue to be known by its original name. "HornetQ is an open source project to build a multi-protocol, embeddable, high performance, clustered, asynchronous messaging system. HornetQ is an example of Message Oriented Middleware. [...] HornetQ is designed with flexibility in mind: It's elegant POJO based design has minimal third party dependencies: Run HornetQ as a stand-alone messaging broker, run it in integrated in your favorite JEE application server, or run it embedded inside your own application. It's up to you."

    What a badly written and misleading headline.

  2. Lets hope they fixed the major flows from 1.x by thammoud · · Score: 3, Insightful

    In 1.x, a server would hang if a client died (OS Crash, Pull the plug). That is a cardinal sin in the world of MOM. The excuse for not fixing it in 1.x was that they were using some internal networking library. 2.x looks impressive indeed, but you know what my first will be. Pull the f'ing plug.
