Hi Takahiro, When considering a specific library in isolation, e.g. HornetQ, there is little difference between using it within or without an app server.
Benefits of an app server include uniform deployment, centralized configuration, monitoring, and control, clustering capabilities to support scaling and high availability, multi-resource transactions, and in-process services like caching, messaging, and scheduling. Things that matter to larger organizations in which different groups produce applications that need to coordinate, often deployed to environments controlled by still other groups. For certain applications, I would recommend using libraries to access external processes like Memcached, RabbitMQ, or cron, for example. And for others, I would recommend an app server. As always, it depends on the requirements of the application and the capabilities of the organization to support it.
