OpenMQ is an Open Source Message Queueing System written in C++.
It is intended to be a an open and free alternative to MSMQ, MQ-Series, and Rendezvous™.
The Project is still in its infancy and has not released any code.

Glenn has a follow-up writeup to OpenMQ With Grails and GlassFish where he describes Message Driven POGOs (Plain Old Grails Object) using Spring and OpenMQ.
Check out
Glen's Writeup to see how his

I exchanged mail with Glen and we will try to post more about his experiences with OpenMQ,

A compilation of today's news of interest:
|
TheRegister reports on a ruling by the US Federal Court of Appeals asserting the Validity of Open Source Licenses. As usual, IANAL, but this surely looks like good news for OpenSource companies (like Sun). Wotif.COM is now a formal reference for Sun's distributions of GlassFIsh Server and OpenMQ. Arun will be Presenting at Rails Europe, Sept 2-4 in Berlin. Ana describes how to migrate SocialSite widgets from OpenSocial 0.7 to 0.8. And Patrick has Nice Words about SocialSite. LWUIT was released, with posts at OnTheRecord, Shai and Terrence. |

Glenn has converted GroovyBlogs to a "(largely) message driven architecture" running on Grails on top of GlassFish Server using OpenMQ. Like in the Recent Note on GridDynamics, Glenn started using ActiveMQ and switched to OpenMQ for better stability. He used OpenMQ with HermesJMS for monitoring and with the JMS Plugin for Grails integration. |

Glen's note;

Max Gorbunov, from Grid Dynamics has been testing scalability of GridGain Software for a Monte Carlo Simulation on Amazon EC2. Max initially used ActiveMQ but later switched to OpenMQ to address scalability and ease of use stability and robustness issues. The stack showed linear scalability up to 512 nodes.

OpenMQ, the high-quality and Open Source JMS implementation integrated into GlassFish and OpenESB has now reached 4.2 final. OpenMQ is rock-solid and now has wildcard topic destinations, XML message validation, C-API support tested with Tuxedo, support for MySQL Cluster Edition for HA, MySQL Enterprise Edition for standard JDBC message stores, and more. |
If you are new to OpenMQ, check this features list. Full product documentation is available here, the user FAQ is there and the mailing list is at users-AT-mq.dev.java.net. And you're interested in what's coming next, be sure to checkout the roadmap: more APIs, especially scripting and .Net, but also "Better administration integration with GlassFish".
People are noticing the quality and Big references are coming. In the meantime, make sure you've listened to Wotif.com's and SNCF's production use of OpenMQ.

Alexis has collected a few good links on OpenMQ in his OpenMQ, the untold story. Noteworthy are the adoption stories from SNCF, TravelMuse, OakAir, RTL and Wotif, and the two uStream.TV videos from CommunityOne: video, part 1 and video, part 2. BTW, I can't find a public page with the roadmap for OpenMQ. I'll post it when I find it. |

GlassFish seems to be in a transportation groove; we recently had adoption stories around: Traveling and Reservations (TravelMuse and Wotif.com), Air (FAA and OAKAir) and automobile (Parking Enforcement). The latest addition covers trains through France's SNCF (see TGV, TER Chemin de Fer). |
Check out Alexis's Adoption Story and the Detailed Questionnaire. Special noteworthy to me is SNCF's use of OpenMQ, like TravelMuse, Wotif and others (we need to do a full inventory; our questionnaire didn't use to ask about that).
