to use or not to use Jencks

[Jerry Shea <je...@gmail.com>]

Hi Everyone,

reading
http://activemq.apache.org/spring-support.html#SpringSupport-WorkingwithSpring%27sJmsTemplateand
http://activemq.apache.org/spring-support.html#SpringSupport-ConsumingJMSfrominsideSpring,
I got the impression that, when running AMQ consumers outside of a JEE
server, it would be a good idea to use Jencks for performance reasons. I
tried using Jencks myself and have suffered from reliability problems (see
http://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-1824). I was then advised by
someone in the know to not use Jencks unless I required XA transactions, and
now use standard spring config together with the spring
SingleConnectionFactory. This works reliably and performs well.

Can I suggest some changes to the documentation? Perhaps it could be pointed
out that it is more efficient, if you don't require XA, to not use Jencks
and just use standard spring with a pooling connection factory? I can't get
in and edit the documentation myself unfortunately.

What do people think?

Cheers, Jerry
