I am going to choose a JMS message broker for a project. It is critical that the JMS server is stable and can handle a high load of messages. I have narrowed down the list to include Active MQ and JBoss Messaging.
I was wondering if any of you have any experience with any of these or even better have tried both of them in the same environment. Any link to a research paper or similar would be nice.

One of the application servers in the open source world is JBoss. A very common requirement is to configure ActiveMQ as the messaging infrastructure within JBoss. Although there is a bit of documentation on this integration, this article seeks to provide much more detail and explanation.
What is ActiveMQ (Active Message Queuing)? ActiveMQ is an open source protocol developed by Apache which functions as an implementation of message-oriented middleware (MOM). Its basic function is to send messages between different applications, but includes additional features like STOMP, JMS, and OpenWire.
Red Hat JBoss A-MQ, based on Apache ActiveMQ, is a standards compliant messaging system that is tailored for use in mission critical applications. It provides unmatched flexibility in the types of applications it can facilitate.
What Is the Difference Between JMS and ActiveMQ? ActiveMQ is a JMS provider. A JMS provider forms the software framework for facilitating the use of JMS concepts inside an application. A single node of ActiveMQ which allows clients to connect to it and use these messaging concepts is called an “ActiveMQ Broker.”
JBoss Messaging is now in bug fix mode only, since JBoss / Red Hat has a new Java messaging project called HornetQ.
The web site is here http://hornetq.org
HornetQ boasts extreme performance, a full feature set and ease of use.
You'll find it's performance compared to ActiveMQ is extremely good.
BTW - I am the project lead for JBoss Messaging and HornetQ.
HornetQ 2.0.0.GA is out in the next week.
