A-MQ vs ActiveMQ - And Integration with Wildfly Questions

[matt_madhavan]

Hello,

I have few questions on JBoss A-MQ and ActuveMQ and their integration with WIldfly. If some one can answer it I will greatly appreciate it.

• Can I use A-MQ in place of ActiveMQ?
• What  is the difference between A-MQ and ActiveMQ?
• Can I integrate A-MQ with Jboss Wildfly?
• What is A-MQ's relationship with Karaf/FUse

I thank you in advance!

Hi Matt,

A-MQ is Red Hats' version of ActiveMQ.  A-MQ closely tracks ActiveMQ and Red Hat is a very active contributor to ActiveMQ. 

You can integrate A-MQ and wildfly.  The A-MQ distribution includes a JCA rar file for accessing a A-MQ instance.

A-MQ and Fuse are both OSGi based and are built on Karaf.  A-MQ could be viewed as a minimal configuration of Fuse that only has messaging.  You can deploy A-MQ on Fuse as well, along with all of the other components, ESB, etc.
