JMSTemplate alternatives?

[jamescarr]

Hi Guys,

I recently came across the page discouraging the use of JMSTemplate for use with HornetQ, and I'm curious what a good replacement would be?

Why would you want a replacement?

What's wrong with the JMS API (or the HornetQ core API) ?

I don't think that's HornetQ's privilege only. Other providers will show issues with the JMSTemplate also. Just google for it and you will find it.

My question might have came off wrong. I don't mean a replacement for HornetQ, I meant a replacement for JMSTemplate. I suppose just plain vanilla JMS might be the answer :)

I understood you right the first time :)

I understood you meant a replacement for the JMSTemplate - and my question was - what's wrong with the JMS API?

Personally I don't understand the Spring fixation with flattening APIs - in my view you end up with an abomination which encourages anti-patterns, and leads to a poor understanding of the messaging paradigm.

The JMS API has a separation between connection, session etc for a reason.

Connections, sessions are supposed to be long live entities, sessions encapsulate a transaction context etc.
