This is something that can easily be achieved with Apache Camel. If I recall correctly, the camel-http component can send to a web service very easily. > when the doc says AM-Q "processess" a message... what exactly is it doing > apart from holding the message in the Q/topic similiar to a DB? ActiveMQ tracks the messages that the broker receives so that it can fulfill the correct delivery, redelivery, etc. according to the JMS spec, it handles and stores messages differently according to whether queues or topics are being used, it persists and recovers messages according to the persistent store configuration. > It boils down to ... how AM-Q different from any regular DB since in both > cases we are writing our own producer and consumer logic? JMS is vastly different from a database. If you're not familiar with JMS, I suggest taking a look at the JMS spec.
