persistent queue design question

[Jamie McCrindle <ja...@gmail.com>]

hi all,

we have a potential requirement to expose a queue over soap. i know
there are various options e.g. Servicemix WSN, ActiveMQ REST instead
of SOAP, Stomp (if I had my way) or hand cranking it (which might be
the way we need to go). The question is more around the fact that
these are going to be very slow consumers and the queues may get very
large. Is it a good idea to leave them in a persistent queue or should
we put them in a DB?

cheers,
j.
