Status of embedded and headless modes?

[jkrupka]

1. Is it possible yet to run hornetq as an embedded server, and send messages to yourself (from inside the jvm), then pick them up off the queue (from inside the jvm)?

2. What about headless( I'm not sure if that's the correct terminology) mode? Where you send a message to an external server, and if that external server is unavailable, the hornetq client will take care of persisting/retrying that message until it gets to the server?

All in all, hornetq sounds like it rocks!! I would love to have these couple of features, I don't think they were finished yet at jboss world, but maybe they are now...?

yes, it is possible. Have a look at the core/embedded example which shows that.

Are you rather meaning "serverless" mode?
It is planned for 2.1: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/HORNETQ-87

Serverless... That's it. Makes a bit more sense I suppose =)

Ok thanks. I will have to give it a try for question #1 and wait for 2.1.
