Looks like STOMP has some competition

Posted by Ian Holsman Mon, 03 Oct 2005 14:00:00 GMT

IBM has released ’XMS’ which allows you to talk to a JMS server from ‘c’ or .net.

Of course.. in order to play you need a copy of Websphere MQ.

so in reality STOMP is quite safe as it is a open protocol, with already 2 different server implementations.

If they could convince another of the OSS JMS vendors to implement STOMP as well they might be on their way of becoming a de-facto standard, and I wouldn’t have to worry about which server I’m using.. just like the java guys don’t have to.

Perl Client to ActiveMQ (upgrade)

Posted by Ian Holsman Mon, 29 Aug 2005 22:14:00 GMT

This upgrade fixes a nasty bug where the client would garble incoming messages on a busy/slow connection.

Perl Interface to the popular Active MQ Message Queueing System, which has the download tarball on it.

Perl Client to ActiveMQ

Posted by Ian Holsman Mon, 22 Aug 2005 19:40:00 GMT

Thanks to the hard work of Brian McCallister and his documentation of the Stomp Protocol.

I have written a perl interface which can connect and send/recieve messages to a Active MQ Message queue.

Alpha quality code is here, and a little blurb is available on Perl Interface to ActiveMQ.

Once it is tested a bit more, it will live on CPAN I guess.

Comments/Bugfixes/flames are welcome.
