In case I gave you a rosy picture of websphere and MQSeries, there are known bugs with MQSeries jms client. It is one of the most scalable messaging systems, but it is not without bugs like all software. a good friend of mine has encountered several (3) bugs with IBM's jms client, which required a specific patch from IBM.
the best way to know is obviously run a test for your needs and see if jboss meets the requirements :) peter On Wed, 21 Jul 2004 10:25:12 -0400, Sternbergh, Cornell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Thanks > > IBM also provides, or did, single user versions of Websphere, free, for > developer use, good for unit testing.
