How does ActiveMQ compare to JBossMQ

There are some similarities between the two; they both support JMS 1.1 and run inside JBoss 4.x.

However ActiveMQ does offer some specific differences and advantages (at least from our perspective)

        
• ActiveMQ works great in any JVM not just inside the JBoss application server

        
• ActiveMQ supports distributed destinations across networks

        
• ActiveMQ supports reliable connections with configurable automatic reconnection

        
• ActiveMQ has great Spring Support

        
• ActiveMQ supports Composite Destinations, Ajax, REST, Jabber and has complete support for Advisory Message support

        
• ActiveMQ is very fast; often 10x faster than JBossMQ. Send us an email to dev at logicblaze.com and we can send you a performance report. If you're not convinced by performance reports - try running our open source JMS performance benchmark youself.
