2.3. New Features
Dynamic configuration updates
JBoss A-MQ now has a runtime configuration plug-in, which enables you to update the configuration of a standalone broker (that is, a broker that is not part of a fabric) dynamically at run time.
For details, see the section "Modifying a Running Standalone Broker's XML Configuration" in the chapter "Editing a Broker's Configuration" in the Managing and Monitoring a Broker guide from the JBoss A-MQ library.
Generic JMS XA connection pool
The
activemq-jms-pool component is a new library that provides generic JMS connection pool classes that support the XA transaction protocol. Using this library, it is possible for third-party JMS providers to participate in XA transactions managed by any JTA transaction manager.
For details of the generic XA-aware connection pool library, see the chapter "XA Transactions in Red Hat JBoss Fuse" in the Transaction Guide from the JBoss Fuse library.
AMQP protocol
Red Hat JBoss Fuse 6.1 now supports the AMQP 1.0 protocol (OASIS Advanced Message Queuing Protocol). You can access the AMQP protocol using a URI of the form,
amqp://Hostname:Port. SSL security is also supported.
Red Hat JBoss Fuse 6.1 includes the Apache Qpid client API, which provides a JMS client API that is compatible with AMQP. You can use this client API to implement AMQP clients in Java.
Note
AMQP 1.0 is not a supported protocol for the JBoss A-MQ JCA connector (Apache ActiveMQ resource adapter, which is the plug-in for integrating JBoss A-MQ with the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform container). OpenWire is the only wire protocol supported by the JCA connector.
C, C++ and .Net client libraries for Openwire
Red Hat JBoss Fuse 6.1 includes the C, C++ (CMS) client library and the .Net (NMS) client library for Openwire (the native Apache ActiveMQ wire protocol).
LevelDB store on Linux platforms
The new LevelDB store is now supported on Linux platforms only.
