1.4. Feature Previews
Technical previews of features in development
The following features are included in the JBoss A-MQ 6.0 release in order to let you preview technology that is currently under development. These features are not yet supported and are not suitable for deployment in a production environment.
AMQP protocol
Red Hat JBoss A-MQ 6.0 includes a technical preview of 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.
Important
This is a technical preview only. The AMQP protocol is currently not supported and is not suitable for deployment in a production environment.
Note
You cannot use the AMQP protocol with the JMS client API, because the provided implementation of the JMS client API supports only the Openwire protocol. You must use a dedicated AMQP client to connect to the broker with the AMQP protocol.
LevelDB store (on selected platforms)
Red Hat JBoss A-MQ includes a technical preview of the new LevelDB store, which uses Google's LevelDB library to maintain the indexes into the log files. The LevelDB store supports XA transactions in ActiveMQ 5.8. The LevelDB store is available only on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS platforms.
Important
This is a technical preview only. The LevelDB store is currently not supported and is not suitable for deployment in a production environment.
