As a JMS newbie, I am trying to get my head around ActiveMQ. It seems to me
that it could be advisable to write ActiveMQ servers and clients using
Spring technology; at least in theory, one could avoid writing lots of
boilerplate code and tying the code to any ActiveMQ vagaries... at least in
If these questions don't make much sense, please bear with me; I am just
getting into JMS.
I am interested in using ActiveMQ to develop pure JMS applications, that
will run without any J2EE container. I believe this is possible, but was
surprised to see the ActiveMQ minimal JARs include:
Let's say I have a pure JMS-based application, that implements business logic
by integrating decoupled components through messaging, with all the
advantages this entails. These applications are triggered by incoming
payloads (say, files that get dropped into specific folders).
