JBoss Messaging 2.0 is making further great progress... here's an update with what's been going on recently:
I have just completed some further changes to our remoting layer, which allows new transports to plugged in even easier.
So far JBM 2.0 has plug-ins for
Netty and
MINA, and I'm looking forward to creating one for
XNIO soon. Users will be able to easily configure at deploy-time which transports they wish to use.
Clebert about to finish our "paging" functionality. "Paging" in JBoss Messaging, means the ability for the system to page messages between RAM and disk, so JBM can support very large queues - much larger than can fit it in memory at one time. This allows the server to run with a small memory footprint but still handle very large queues.
The difficult bit for successful paging is doing performantly. Clebert reports he can depage around 40K 1K messages per sec on his simple home server! :)
Jeff has been finishing off our management API and he's almost there. JBM 2.0 will boast an enhanced management api with JMX and POJO support, notifications, and an ability to manage over the connection.
