BetaMQ
BetaMQ is a free administration tool for Message Oriented Middleware. In this first preview release, it supports the following message brokers:
- Apache ActiveMQ 5.0.0
- Amazon Simple Queue Service
- xmlBlaster (www.xmlblaster.org)
BetaMQ has been built using Habari Client libraries for xmlBlaster and Amazon SQS which will be released in the second and third quarter of 2008. The Habari Client library for the Apache ActiveMQ message broker is already available and has successfully been used in enterprise integration solutions.
BetaMQ is a small single stand-alone executable and does not require additional external resources. The GUI currently allows to configure connections, connect to message brokers and list topics and queues. Queue management is supported for Amazon SQS connections. The full source code for BetaMQ is available.
Command View
Installation Instruction
If you use BetaMQ with Apache ActiveMQ 5.0.0, check the activemq.xml configuration file in the config directory. It contains a line which needs to be uncommented:
<commandAgent xmlns="http://activemq.org/config/1.0"/>
If you use BetaMQ with Apache ActiveMQ version 5.1.0, the configuration file uses a different syntax:
<commandAgent xmlns="http://activemq.apache.org/schema/core" brokerUrl="vm://localhost"/>
Please note that the commandAgent in version 5.1.0 requires additional configuration steps and currently cannot be used with BetaMQ.
About Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS): Amazon Simple Queue Service (Amazon SQS) offers a reliable, highly scalable, hosted queue for storing messages as they travel between computers. By using Amazon SQS, developers can simply move data between distributed components of their applications that perform different tasks, without losing messages or requiring each component to be always available.
About xmlBlaster: xmlBlaster is a publish/subscribe and point to point 100% Java based MOM server (message-oriented middleware) which exchanges messages between publishers and subscribers. The message is described with XML-encoded meta information. Messages may contain everything, GIF images, Java objects, Python scripts, XML data, a word document, plain text - just anything. Communication with the server is based on socket, CORBA (using JacORB), RMI, XmlRpc, HTTP or email, clients are free to choose their preferred protocol. Other protocols like SOAP may be plugged in.
