Yes, IIRC, some modifications were needed to make sure everything works correctly. So ActiveMQ 5.2-SNAPSHOT is currently required. > Now my question is: how does ActiveMQ and SMX4 work together? > how is the integration? SMX4 is built on top of Apache Felix, an OSGi container. A lot of work has been done to be able to make ActiveMQ and its required components work nicely in OSGi. Aside from the JMS broker, the SMX4/AMQ integration provides a bunch of commands that you can use from the ActiveMQ console. ActiveMQ is bundled inside the full SMX4 distribution, but if you don't need the JBI layer, you could grab a ServiceMix Kernel and just install the needed bundles instead. Let me know if you want more informations. > We plan to use Camel as well, and reading from: > http://activemq.apache.org/camel/jbi.html > seems that it should work pretty well with SMX4. did anyone tried > it? Yes. Camel nicely integrates in SMX4. In the SMX4 distribution, there are a few examples that shows the use of Camel. > greetings, > Yari > > -- Cheers, Guillaume Nodet ------------------------ Blog: http://gnodet.blogspot.com/
