Re: Getting Geronimo to use an upcoming ActiveMQ 4.x release and the activemq-gbean & activemq-gbean-management modules

Cross posting to dev@geronimo so the Geronimo team is involved in 
discussions regarding ActiveMQ integration, as I don't think the missing 
gbean support in ActiveMQ 4.0 has been discussed on the Geronimo dev list.

The missing gbean support was a surprise to me as I wasn't expecting 
ActiveMQ 4.0 to be missing the functionality that it had in ActiveMQ 
3.2.1 currently used by Geronimo.  I was expecting 4.0 to almost be a 
drop in replacement, except for the change of package names.  I was 
hoping to play with a 4.0-RCx release with Geronimo.

I am concerned about Geronimo staying with a 3.2.x release when it has 
been mentioned that 4.0 should be more stable and a number of bugs in 
3.2.x have only been fixed in the 4.0 code.

Hiram, when you have an idea of the effort required to implement the 
GBeans support ActiveMQ 4.x let's discuss time frames for Geronimo to 
moving to an ASF hosted ActiveMQ release.

Regards,

John

Just that I want to redesign some of the interfaces that geronimo's
security module is using.  So it's best to keep G on version that's
currently using.  I'm not so worried having amq depend on changing
interfaces since I can keep them in sync much easier.

I'll note that.  Hiram...any reason you can think of that would stop us from 
testing the newer ActiveIO on the 1.0.0 build to shake out any issues?

I just took a stab at porting the old gbeans to 4.x and everything is
compiling now again.  So I think for 4.x we should have at least the
same level of crappy integration that 3.x had.  I'm hoping we can do
better though.  I started to test with Geronimo 1.1 and I've him my
first big issue.  ActiveMQ 4.x depends on activeio 2.1 which is not
compatible with the version Geronimo uses.  So I think I'll work on
upgrading activemq to use activeio 3.x which CAN be concurrently used 
with the version Geronimo uses.  I would just upgrade Geronimo's
security module to use the 2.x or 3.x but activeio's interfaces are
still not pinned down and I want to avoid other folks from breaking
next time it changes.
