Like Leon already mentioned, Java Message Service (JMS) is the most standard implementation of this out there. It's fairly easy to understand, and (echoing Leon again) the O'Reilly book is short and sweet. There are probably a couple of places in the API where we could merge some things and make it simpler, but IMO overall it's a good goal to shoot for. And like Stephen mentioned, I had an itch to scratch with this and started writing some sample code, thinking about how to port JMS to perl, etc. But lots of other things took over and it fell by the wayside. I do hope to work on it again, particularly since it may have some overlap with my job. (Always nice.) uri guttman has a product called Stem that has some overlap with message queues/systems in general. He gave a presentation on it at YAPC::NA 2001. He's focusing more on large-scale network management, but the architecture is very flexible. I'm pretty sure it's not GPL, but it's a good source of inspiration in how to tackle synchronization problems, etc. Chris -- Chris Winters ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) Building enterprise-capable snack solutions since 1988.
