So ActiveMQ is a message broker designed such that the clients either use the ActiveMQ JMS client or use one of the standard protocols to communicate with the ActiveMQ broker such as OpenWire, REST or STOMP. If you want to send or consume over custom wire protocols such as the one you describe then I'd recommend using Camel to do this & to route custom protocols to and from ActiveMQ. http://activemq.apache.org/camel/ e.g. Camel comes with a MINA component that can be used to support custom socket protocols... http://activemq.apache.org/camel/mina.html So inside the broker you'd have a route something like... <camelContext ...> <route> <from uri="myMina:localhost:1234"/> <to uri="activemq:MyQueue"/> </route> </camelContext> > I would ideally like to utilize the Active MQ resource adapter to receive > these messages and forward them onto my message bean running inside a > Glassfish server.

Once the message is actually on an ActiveMQ queue (e.g. using Camel) you'll then be able to use the AMQ RA if you wanna use MDBs or you could just use Spring's MessageListenerContainer stuff -- James ------- http://macstrac.blogspot.com/ Open Source Integration http://open.iona.com
