HornetQ
Encyclopedia
HornetQ is an open source
asynchronous messaging project from JBoss
. It is an example of Message Oriented Middleware
HornetQ is an open source project to build a multi-protocol, embeddable, very high performance, clustered, asynchronous messaging system.
The HornetQ project was the brain-child of Tim Fox, and was launched on 24 August 2009, during much of its development the HornetQ code-base was developed under the name JBoss Messaging
2.0.
The HornetQ project is licensed using the Apache Software License v 2.0.
Tim Fox led the project until HornetQ 8 October 2010, when he stepped down as project lead to pursue other projects. HornetQ is currently led by Clebert Suconic with core engineers Andy Taylor, Howard Gao and Jeff Mesnil.
As of 4-2-2010 HornetQ is the SPECjms2007 record breaker.
It has the following relevant features:

As of 4-2-2010 HornetQ is the SPECjms2007 record breaker.
It has the following relevant features:
- Supports STOMP protocol for cross language clients
- 100% JMS complaint
- AIO (over Linux)/NIO (over any OS) based high performance journal.
- Clustering for scalability and reliability
- Supports Master/Slave architecture for fault tolerance
- Supports discovery groups for dynamic node clusters
- Core Bridges to connect to other HornetQ servers (over unreliable WAN links)
- JMS Bridges to connect to other JMS compatible servers
- Diverts to reroute traffic without modifying application code
- Paging to support messages which size exceeds the available RAM
- Large message support to enable file messaging
- XA and JTA transaction support
- Application Server integration using the JCA standard (allows MDBs too)
