I'm in the process of building a network of brokers in which some of the links are geographically distributed. These links will use the SSL transport for reasons of security, but we also want to use compression to minimize bandwidth usage over the WAN links. I've searched the available documentation and so far haven't found a definitive source that tells whether the SSL Transport uses rfc3749 compression or not. Can anyone here give me a definitive answer? If it is supported, which configuration options are required?
It also appears that there is an option to use message level compression. If compression is available on the SSL transport stream, I expect we would want to ensure that message compression is turned off to allow the transport level compression to have more context. The only documentation I have found for this was for ActiveMQ 3, which implies that doMessageCompression is trueby default. Is that still the default with ActiveMQ 5? Thanks, Jim Lloyd Silver Tail Systems
