I have been using ActiveMQ 4.1.2 for a couple of years and have had a number of problems with it. I echo the views of a recent post on this forum that I prefer reliability of the tool than performance; I do not even mind losing messages, but I want to avoid at any cost out of memory errors, sporadic and inexplicable termination of the broker etc.
I even hired an ActiveMQ consultant to sanitize our configuration and found that we had not misconfigured it - there were just bugs. Its at a stage where its serving basic needs (non-persistence of messages, non-reliable delivery, no security, is handling barely more than 50 messages an hour). I dare not look at it squint-eyed, for the fear of creating yet another unexplained outage. I am hoping that a newer version of ActiveMQ is more reliable; the last time I attempted to upgrade (to 5.0) was unpleasant; there were significant memory leaks. Could you pl advise me on the most stable, bug-free version of ActiveMQ post 4.1.2 that I could upgrade to? Regards, /U
