Chapter 1. Getting Started with HornetQ

This chapter will give us a brief introduction on how to use HornetQ in standalone mode, and will implement an example of message production and consumption using the JMS API. To cover this topic, we will also create a fully working development environment for the first-time user. We will cover the following topics:

  • Downloading the software

  • Installing and running HornetQ as a standalone server

  • Installing the IDE for coding the example

  • Installing the NoSQL database for storing the results
