I am going to choose a JMS message broker for a project. It is critical that the JMS server is stable and can handle a high load of messages. I have narrowed down the list to include Active MQ and JBoss Messaging.

I was wondering if any of you have any experience with any of these or even better have tried both of them in the same environment. Any link to a research paper or similar would be nice.

JBoss Messaging is now in bug fix mode only, since JBoss / Red Hat has a new Java messaging project called HornetQ.

The web site is here http://hornetq.org

HornetQ boasts extreme performance, a full feature set and ease of use.

You'll find it's performance compared to ActiveMQ is extremely good.

BTW - I am the project lead for JBoss Messaging and HornetQ.

HornetQ 2.0.0.GA is out in the next week.
