ActiveMessaging gets significant overhaul as well as support for WebSphere MQ and Amazon SQS
Andrew Kuklewicz just checked in a significant overhaul of ActiveMessaging he
describes the changes better himself, but here’s a quick summary:
- Automatic reload of processors and rails env in development mode (compare to how routes.rb gets reloaded in normal Rails).
- Support for multiple connections and adapters per application.
- Support for Websphere MQ (thanks to Sylvain Perez), Amazon SQS and JMS (via StompConnect).
- Multiple subscriptions per poller process.
All the changes are documented on the wiki.
All in all with the addition of the WebSphere MQ and JMS support ActiveMessaging is certainly ready for prime time. Got an old mainframe system you want to expose to the web? Crank up that CICS MQ connector, get your flat file parsers ready and you’re set to go!
Truly superb work by Andrew and Sylvain!
