HornetQ support in JBoss7 eap

Question

In Jboss7 EAP, activeMQ is the default messaging system. Is the older HornetQ still supported. If I want my war to use HornetQ instead of ActiveMQ, will it be possible?

Answer 1

Jboss EAP 7 use the Apache Artemis message broker. HornetQ is not supported with EAP 7. From my experience, it is tested with HornetQ clients, version 2.3 or later. As far as I know, Red Hat will support the use of Artemis in EAP 7 with HornetQ client runtime from EAP 6.

However, I do not think that this product combination will be supported in the next EAP version(release 8 or later).

What I propose is to migrate your existing HornetQ configuration on JBoss EAP 6 to ArtemisMQ on JBoss EAP 7. For your info, JBoss EAP 7 is shipped with migration tools, built to help move configuration from EAP 6 to EAP 7. For more info, please have a look on the official migration documentation.
