OpenMQ at Wotif (Greg Luck)
- The #2 e-tailer in Australia depends on OpenMQ.

CommunityOne is free but space is limited; register early. |

This week's GlassFish podcast is Greg Luck's Podcast. This was part of a set of presentations at GF Day @ Sydney and worth a check. |
Some background/context: Wotif.COM was a very early adopter of GFv1 (story) and they stepped in some bugs long ago fixed. They remained a happy customer and they have recently started using Open MQ.
Also check Alexis' summary, Greg Luck's Adoption Overview and Dave Whitla's OpenMQ Presentation.
And here is the evolution of software, according to Dave's slides...

George joins Linda in writing about Open MQ. His first entry announced the latest SPEC benchmark: SPECjms2007. This benchmark is analogous to the SPECjAppServer 2004 we have reported regarding the GlassFish AppServer; hopefully OpenMQ will post as good numbers as GlassFish and the Sun WebServer - see TA entries. George's latest entry is a request for feedback from OpenMQ Users. Try OpenMQ through GlassFish or its Standalone Download and submit your comments through USERS@mq.dev.java.net. |

Linda has two new posts; one builds on her popular JMS 101 introduction; in the Follow-up Entry she expands the hello world example to use JNDI and administered objects. The second entry is more advanced and covers High Availability in JMS. Linda talks about brokers, clusters, and stores in the OpenMQ implementation and points to the future directions for the project. The OpenMQ team is always interested in your comments at USERS@mq; the binaries are included in GlassFish and separately at their Download Page. Enjoy! |

Here is another OpenMQ-related writeup from Linda; this time an Introduction to JMS. This is a very extensive writeup that covers all the basic concepts, including: Connection factories, Connections, Sessions, Destinations, Messages, Producers and Consumers. It is a good entry point for anybody interested in JMS and it uses OpenMQ for the examples. For more OpenMQ information check: home page, downloads and Mailing List. |
The picture for this entry is a video clip from the opening of the Apple Store in Ginza, Tokyo. They surely know how to keep lines in Japan...

Linda has started blogging about the Open MQ Project. I think this is very timely for two reasons. One because the existing implementation of OpenMQ has been described to me by several people as the "hidden gem in GlassFish". The other because OpenMQ is going to go through substantial architectural changes as it incorporates two existing Sun products: JMQ and JMS Grid. Linda had already talked about End of 4.1, and her latest entry provides a General Overview. |
You can download OpenMQ at the community download site or just via the GlassFish bundle.
