Service Mix and C++ - best practices
I have been reading up on ServiceMix, trying to find the best way to use C++
to develop consumers or producers. I realize there are quite a few
mechanisms to accomplish this task. So I am wondering if anyone has much
experience with this and can recommend the best approach.
I was also wondering if the ActiveMQ instance that ServiceMix uses for its
backend can be directly accessed via ActiveMQ-CPP and still retain the full
features of the ESB. This seems like the most direct/efficient approach if
it works this way. Otherwise, I was thinking about using a separate instance
of ActiveMQ and plugging it into ServiceMix via servicemix-jms.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Jacob

If you use the jms or jca flow, ServiceMix will use ActiveMQ. The other default
use is when using servicemix-wsn2005 component. Else, ActiveMQ is usually
used by the JMS component, but using an explicit configuration in your SU.
In any case, you can freely use ActiveMQ directly without any problems, unless
you try to send JMS messages on queue used by the jms/jca flows, but the name
are prefixed by org.apache.servicemix, so it should be quite safe.

My only concern with using ServiceMix's ActiveMQ backend directly is that I
would be bypassing functionality that the binding components provide. From
your response though, it seems that this is not the case. Perhaps this
concern is due to my ignorance of how ServiceMix runs on top of ActiveMQ.
Could someone please provide more information on this or direct me to the
appropriate documentation?
Thanks!

You're right. The best way to access ServiceMix from another technology is
to go through ActiveMQ. As to whether you need a separate ActiveMQ instance
or not, I don't see the need to do so. Though you may want to have more than
one ActiveMQ broker to achieve load balancing and fail over, but this is a
distinct problem.
