Chapter 1. Introduction
JBoss Enterprise Application Platform messaging is based on HornetQ, which is an Open Source Message Oriented Middleware (MoM) project developed by the JBoss Community.
The Red Hat certified HornetQ product differs from the community offering because it is tested to ensure reliability on a number of hardware platforms, and is backed by a dedicated support network for product updates and technical support.
HornetQ is a Java-based multi-protocol, clustered, asynchronous messaging system. It features a high-performance journaling system suitable for persistent messaging implementations.
The High Availability (HA) functionality offered by HornetQ supports client fail-over in the event of server node failure.
