This one is posted by @bubble. The test covers throughput vs message size and throughput vs persistence. The test looks reasonably professional however I disagree with the author that commercial products such as from Tibco and IBM are expensive. WebSphere MQ and Tibco messagesing are now commodity products in their company’s product portfolio. Dual core, dual socket would only run about 10K license and 2.5K support.

Print Edition will be available in May 2010, though early access to parts of the book is available now.

Modern distributed architectures require a secure, reliable way to exchange messages in asynchronous, loosely-coupled systems. For Java developers, the Java Message Service (JMS) provides that core functionality. The Apache ActiveMQ message broker is a complete open source implementation of the JMS specification. The ActiveMQ Message-Oriented Middleware, coupled with its Enterprise Integration Provider are the building blocks of an Enterprise Service Bus—the backbone of a contemporary Service Oriented Architecture.

yespublish is a generic content publishing framework. At one time support for ActiveMQ was removed but now it is back as optional. You can follow @acdog on twitter for up to the minute developments of the yespublish project.
