From my understanding QPid fully passes the JMS TCK, so you can use
AMQP out-of-the-box with the existing JMS plug today. So in answer to your question its trivial to use AMQP.
For example, without any coding you should be able to put an XML message onto AMQP and have Synapse read it, and then route it to a WS-ReliableMessaging endpoint - for example a Microsoft .NET server. I think the interesting question is whether we can do tighter integration, and we'd love any input on what that could be. I'm also interested interested in the wider questions around reliable messaging protocols, so if you're in a position to share your thoughts around AMQP I'd love to hear those too.

Hi asankha, thanks for your quick response. AMQP transport in Synapse/Axis2 is not an immediate requirement for us but something that we will want to be able to do in the not-to-distant future without incurring too much effort (based on one of the open-source AMQP implementations i mentioned). So it is important to know that you don't consider it a difficult task adding it to Axis2. I'll have a look at the relevant Axis2 APIs and the code for the JMS transport to get a better idea... As to who is going to do it: that entirely depends on our schedule when the concrete need for AMQP arises from our project... thanks again, gerald On 09/03/07, Asankha C.
