HornetQ- the new ultra high performance enterprise grade messaging system from JBoss, sets a record breaking score in the SPECjms2007 industry standard benchmark for JMS messaging system performance.
HornetQ 2.0.GA obtained scores up to
307% higher than previously published SPECjms2007 benchmark results, on the same server hardware and operating system set-up.
The peer-reviewed results are available on the spec.org web-site:
http://www.spec.org/jms2007/results/jms2007.htmlThe results were obtained by Kai Sachs and Stefan Appel from an independent research group at the TU Darmstadt, Germany.
Their release announcement can be found here:
http://www.dvs.tu-darmstadt.de/news/specjms2007Results_HornetQ.htmlWork is currently occurring on HornetQ 2.1 which includes another round of enhancements to take performance to yet another level.

Red Hat Middleware (JBoss) is pleased to announce the release of HornetQ 2.0 GA.
HornetQ is an open source community project to build a multi-protocol, embeddable, ultra high performance, clustered, asynchronous messaging system.
HornetQ can be used to provide messaging functionality from the smallest of applications to empowering the largest of enterprise messaging topologies.
Writing a full-blown, enterprise messaging system is a huge undertaking and it's been a long and windy road to get where we are today. It's taken over 2 years of development and many late nights and weekends to get to this point, but we hope you like what you see.
HornetQ is currently an unsupported community project, but, in the not-too-distant future will be available fully supported by Red Hat as part of a JBoss Enterprise Application Platform subscription. Even sooner than that HornetQ will be available in JBoss Enterprise Application Platform as a technical preview with limited support.
Here's just a taste of why you should consider choosing, or migrating to HornetQ:
* 100% open source software. HornetQ is licenced using the Apache Software License v2.0 to minimise barriers to adoption.
* Jaw-dropping performance. Our unique high performance journal provides astonishing persistent messaging performance. When running on Linux it takes advantage of native code to provide performance unavailable from pure Java. When Linux is not available it still flies at supersonic speed.
* Full feature set. All the features you'd expect in any serious messaging system, and others you won't find anywhere else.
* Usability is key. We ship with over 75 ready-to-run examples demonstrating most aspects of HornetQ functionality.
* Comprehensive documentation. We ship with a in depth 200 page user manual, and a quickstart guide to get you up and running in minutes.
* Written in Java. Runs on any platform with a Java 5+ runtime, that's everything from Windows desktops to IBM mainframes.
* Elegant, clean-cut design with minimal third party dependencies. Run HornetQ stand-alone, run it in integrated in your favourite JEE application server, or run it embedded inside your own product. The choice is yours.
* Solid high availability. We provide a HA solution with automatic client failover so you can guarantee zero message loss or duplication in event of server failure.
* Hugely flexible clustering. Create clusters of servers that know how to load balance messages. Link geographically distributed clusters over unreliable connections to form a global network that powers your core business. Configure routing of messages in a highly flexible way.
Please see the
wiki
for a complete list of HornetQ features.
What's next for HornetQ? We have lots of exciting things in store including REST support, AMQP support, STOMP support and direct Ajax/Comet/Web sockets support.
I've put together a
FAQ
that should answer most of the common questions about HornetQ.

I'm pleased to announce we've just released another candidate release (CR) for the forthcoming HornetQ 2.0.0.GA release.
This has been a long road but we're *very* close to GA now. If all goes well, we will cut the GA release in the next week or even sooner.
Then, next stop, we'll working hard to integrate HornetQ as default JMS provider into JBoss Application Server 6.0.
Watch this space.
