Overview of this book

<p>Messages and information can be exchanged at exponential speed with JBoss HornetQ asynchronous messaging middleware. Learn how to use the JAVA open source Message Oriented Framework, to build a high-performance, multi-protocol, embeddable, clustered system and manage millions of messages per second.<br /><br />In the HornetQ Messaging Developer’s Guide you will find the most common applications of a message exchanger with example code, as part of real-world scenarios. This practical and applicable guide increases reader knowledge chapter by chapter, covering basics to the most advanced features.<br /><br />You will start from a clean installation of a HornetQ sever and, having progressively become a HornetQ master, will finish by being able to use the framework embedded in your software and sharing information in a cluster environment.<br /><br />Starting from writing and reading a single message, we will discover more advanced features like managing queues, clustering the server, and controlling the undelivered messages. The book deals with a real-world advanced medical scenario as the main example that will lead you from learning the basics to the advanced features of HornetQ.</p>

Summary


In this chapter, we have seen that there are different possibilities for monitoring the HornetQ server. We suggest you try using Javadoc to train yourself on combining JMX and JMS management to see the possible combinations. For example, even if we have not covered this possibility, it is also possible to trigger some events on the server using JMX management API, such as suspending or activating some events when something happens on a queue.

Now that we have seen how to manage the queue and the messages within them, we can move ahead to see some more advanced features available in HornetQ. However, I hope that this chapter will inspire the reader to go deeper into the thematics of management.

Considering that HornetQ can also be used in a cluster environment for high-performance purposes, detecting what happens on a single or multiple instance of the server is an essential task to be addressed.

Now that we have seen how to control our queues and the HornetQ server instance, we are...
