You say the messages should be "persistent and durable." Is there a difference between "persistent" and "durable" or are those just two different words which mean the same thing in this instance? It's worth noting that the STOMP protocol itself [1] makes no guarantee about "persistency." Whether or not such functionality is available is up to the broker you choose. The AMQP 1.0 specification [2] outlines a boolean "header" named "durable." As the specification states:
> Durable messages MUST NOT be lost even if an intermediary is unexpectedly terminated and restarted. I'm not sure what you mean when you ask which protocol is "more reliable." Both protocols go over TCP/IP so in that sense the are equally reliable. Other levels of reliability are provided by the client and broker you use as well as things like broker and hardware configuration. However, none of these things has anything necessarily to do with the protocol choice. Please clarify if you have further questions on this point. I'm also not sure what you mean by "interception" and "intercept" in regards to the protocols. What specifically are you referring to here? As stated previously, STOMP is the "Simple *Text Oriented* Messaging Protocol." However, it also supports transmitting binary data as the specification [1] makes clear: > STOMP is text based but also allows for the transmission of binary messages. As I said before, I can't really make a recommendation because I don't have all the details of your use-case (e.g. performance requirements, operating environment, client application design, developer constraints, etc.). To be clear, this email list is really for users of ActiveMQ who have specific problems/questions/issues with ActiveMQ itself. It's not a general messaging consulting service. I recommend you work with your stake-holders to gather requirements and perform the necessary research to understand the different potential technologies.
