The ActiveMQ project site, as it was published here in 2004–2007

activemq.org was the home of the ActiveMQ message broker from its first public releases under the Codehaus banner (2004) through its incubation at the Apache Software Foundation (2006). When the project graduated, its website moved to activemq.apache.org and this domain fell out of use. This archive keeps the pages that were published here readable at their original addresses.

Looking for ActiveMQ itself? Downloads, current documentation, security advisories and the issue tracker are on the official project site: activemq.apache.org. Nothing here is maintained by the project, and the versions documented below (1.0–4.1) are long unsupported.

The site as it introduced itself (November 2006)

Apache ActiveMQ is a fast open source Message Bus which supports many Cross Language Clients and Protocols and many advanced features while fully supporting JMS 1.1 and J2EE 1.4. Apache ActiveMQ is released under the Apache 2.0 License

Features

  • supports a variety of Cross Language Clients and Protocols from Java, C, C++, C#, Ruby, Perl, Python, PHP
    • OpenWire for high performance clients in Java, C, C++, C#
    • Stomp support so that clients can be written easily in C, Ruby, Perl, Python, PHP to talk to ActiveMQ
  • Supports many advanced features such as Message Groups, Virtual Destinations, Wildcards and Composite Destinations
  • fully supports JMS 1.1 and J2EE 1.4 with support for transient, persistent, transactional and XA messaging
  • Spring Support so that ActiveMQ can be easily embedded into Spring applications and configured using Spring's XML configuration mechanism
  • tested inside popular J2EE servers such as Geronimo, JBoss 4, GlassFish and WebLogic
    • includes JCA 1.5 resource adaptors for inbound & outbound messaging so that ActiveMQ should auto-deploy in any J2EE 1.4 compliant server
  • supports pluggable transport protocols such as in-VM, TCP, SSL, NIO, UDP, multicast, JGroups and JXTA transports
  • supports very fast persistence using JDBC along with a high performance journal
  • designed for high performance clustering, client-server, peer based communication
  • REST API to provide technology agnostic and language neutral web based API to messaging
  • Ajax to support web streaming support to web browsers using pure DHTML, allowing web browsers to be part of the messaging fabric
  • Axis Support so that ActiveMQ can be easily dropped into Apache Axis runtimes to provide reliable messaging
  • can be used as an in memory JMS provider, ideal for unit testing JMS
