[JMS] Geronimo Messaging Overview

[Ed Curry <ed...@eircom.net>]

Just an overview of the the discussion on Messaging so far 

(I will place this on the wiki if there's no objections to it)

<Overview>

Provisional Plan
------------------

MDBs
-----
Geronimo should support MDBs with pluggable message transport protocols (JMS, email, ws, etc)

JMS Provider 
-------------
Short-Term
Integrate OpenJMS has a lot of support as the desired JMS provider.  

Long-Term
GeronimoMQ a JMS provider implemented using services from Geronimo such as persistence, transactions, etc.


TODO List
============-
OpenJMS Integration
  Implement JCA support in OpenJMS
  
</Overview>

GeronimoMQ Implementation Idea
---------------------------------------------
Just an idea for the implementation of GeronimoMQ. We all know that Geronimo will be the best J2EE server on the planet and i feel for any JMS provider to the best it will need to reuse the services of geronimo   I'm not familiar with the architecture of OpenJMS but if it does not already support pluggable services such as transactions and persistence it could be refactored to support such a design.  Once the geronimo services are ready they would simple need to be plugged into OpenJMS and Vola! GeronimoMQ. ( I'm sure it will not be this simple, but you get the idea)

This approach would allow developers who wish to contribute to GeronimoMQ to start straight away by contributing to OpenJMS.  

Just an idea for discussion.  :-)
