Hi there cmagoyrk,
sorry you are experiencing problems

sheer
number of features. But then I realized something.
It just doesn't work.
that's a shame - which version are you using?
Being able to monitor the queue via XMPP (although the default
configuration
doesn't work, even when you spend 4 hours trying to set it up,
because there
is no default user/pass to use), message groups, STOMP support, or
having a
nice pretty web-app to interact with is nice - but I need the basic
features
to work.
I cannot monitor ActiveMQ. If I add 5 million messages to a queue,
and
restart ActiveMQ, upon startup it reports 0 enqueued messages. This
is
completely unacceptable. How am I supposed to reliably report on
message
counts?
I need to be able to work with large data sets. I may need to add 10
million messages to a queue - I have an enterprise database server
and I can
throw as much ram at the problem as neccessary - dont just fall on
your
face. I can't control unexpected outages, I can't control outside
clients,
and theres no reason that when my queue gets to 300,000 messages it
is 1/10
the performance of when it has 10,000.
There are numerous other problems that I just can't seem to get past
(HA is
provided but there is no way to sync up a master/slave if one or the
other
fails - I have to do it by hand. right....). I see the multitude of
features and the name Apache on the front I and I think this product
is
production ready. I am beginning to believe I am wrong.
I realize I am not using the 'Standard' setup - using STOMP instead of
OpenWire - and that other variables most likely contribute to my
problems
(it seems like many people don't use persistent messaging, which is
what I
am after). I realize ActiveMQ and it's developers have other things
to do
than to please me. I really want to use this product. But if I can't
monitor it, if performance is sporadic, and no one seems to care - I
just
don't know how.
