RMI via JMS 1.0 Released!

Hiram Chirino — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 20:28:26 +0000

I’m pleased to announce the release of RMI via JMS 1.0! RMI via JMS allows you do RMI style remoting over any JMS provider. It combines the ease of RMI development with flexibility and loose coupling that JMS provides.

It also supports and even simpler interface remoting model which does not mandate the throwing of RemoteException or extending the RemoteObject interfaces. It even allows remoting classes which don’t implement any interfaces via ASM magic.

Documentation still needs a little work, but the project is now ASL 2.0 Licensed and looking for contributions! Please join the mailing lists to get involved.

InfoQ has posted nice article on the new features in the ActiveMQ 5.1 release versus the last 4.1 release:

Apache ActiveMQ, an open source provider of enterprise messaging services, recently released version 5.1 which includes improvements in stability and performance of the message broker product. This version also includes support for priority message ordering and a Microsoft Message Queue (MSMQ) to ActiveMQ Bridge with the new msmq transport component.

There are also improvements in the monitoring module of ActiveMQ container. A new DestinationSource class was added to access the available Queues or Topics or listen to Queues/Topics being created or deleted in the container. There is a new API to help end users view available destinations and query them to find JMS statistics such as active queue count, queue depth, number of messages etc.

ActiveMQ 5.1.0 Release

Hiram Chirino — Wed, 07 May 2008 16:56:00 +0000

For all of you who ran into issues with ActiveMQ 5.0.0 when running it in anger, I highly recommend you give the just released ActiveMQ 5.1.0 a try. This release focused focused on making the broker rock solid. It resolved several bugs which only reared their heads in high load situations. Memory leaks have been squashed and performance has even improved in several areas.

Even if you have not had seen any issues with your 5.0.0 installation, I’d highly recommend you upgrade to 5.1.0 to avoid running into some of the bugs that have been addressed in the release.
