Book Description

Publication Date: 4 April 2011 | ISBN-10: 1933988940 | ISBN-13: 978-1933988948 | Edition: 1

Applications in enterprises need to communicate, most commonly done by messaging. Apache ActiveMQ is an open-source implementation of the Java Message Service (JMS), which provides messaging in Java applications.

ActiveMQ in Action is a thorough, practical guide to implementing message-oriented systems using ActiveMQ and Java. Co-authored by one of the leading ActiveMQ developers, Bruce Snyder, the book starts with the anatomy of a core Java message, then moves quickly through fundamentals including data persistence, authentication and authorization. Later chapters cover advanced features such as configuration and performance tuning, illustrating each concept with a running real-world stock portfolio application.

Readers will learn to integrate ActiveMQ with Apache Geronimo and JBoss, and tie into both Java and non-Java technologies including AJAX, .NET, C++, Ruby, and the Spring framework.

Purchase of the print book comes with an offer of a free PDF, ePub, and Kindle eBook from Manning. Also available is all code from the book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very practical and readable 17 Dec 2012

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
I recommend this book to everyone who considers employing ActiveMQ as a messaging platform. The book covers messaging as such, JMS, setting up and running ActiveMQ, and other interesting areas (performance, high availability etc.).
Useful for software architects and developers.

4.0 out of 5 stars A very good book on ActiveMQ 12 May 2012
By Taruvai Subramaniam - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Just finished this book. Message brokers like WS-MQ, Tibco are quite expensive and require professional administrators. ActiveMQ is just a single jar file you can invoke from Eclipse. But don't be misled. It is a full fledged, high performance message broker. Learning message oriented middleware has two facets. The first is learning JMS. This book is not the best place to start. I would recommend Java Message Service which by happenstance uses ActiveMQ for its code samples.

The other part is all the stuff that JMS doesn't deal with by design, such as fail over, clustering, performance tuning etc. That is specific to the broker. ActiveMQ makes all this ridiculously simple and comes with boatloads of features. This is an excellent book to learn all that.

The reason I give it 4 instead of 5 starts is the code samples. Some of the stuff in some chapters is just missing. Also in keeping with all Manning books it uses Maven. But what if you don't like or use Maven? Still you don't have to use Maven. You can try it in your IDE.

All in all if you looking to learn JMS or want an open source message broker ActiveMQ is a good choice and this book will be indispensable to you.
5.0 out of 5 stars Worth a read 18 May 2013
By Siddhardha - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
After reading this book almost from cover to cover (except for chapters 8 and 9) and trying out all source code, I have come to the conclusion that this is a decent book all in all and it's definitely worth a read if you are using ActiveMQ (unless you are an advanced user already). It appears that most of what's in the book is more or less online on the ActiveMQ site (in fact, the example code looks alike in a lot of places), so you may not necessarily need to buy it unless you want to. For me, I always find it helpful to have a paper copy around so that I can peruse it even when I'm not online. Some of the example code in the book won't work out of the box but you can usually figure it out what's wrong with it and fix it yourself or a simple web search will provide you an answer most of the time. For example, in one example, an environment variable is referenced in ActiveMQ configuration files but it's not set automatically and you should remember to set them before executing the code. Example on SSL connector requires more configuration than what's in the book. The last example code in chapter 13 doesn't give better performance but if you set another property that's not listed in the code, it will work as expected.

The first few chapters in part 1 provide a pretty good overview of JMS and its features - these are very helpful to novices. Most of the material in part 2 should be easy to pick up for someone who has used any messaging technology at some point in their careers. Part 3 is useful for integration with application servers or for using ActiveMQ with a language other than Java for client consumption. Part 4, Advanced Features, is the most helpful section in the book for me. It covers enterprise deployment, tuning, administration and monitoring - I have used several ideas outlined in these chapters with pretty good results in my current work place.

Note that this book was written with ActiveMQ version 5.4. I have used ActiveMQ 5.7 to test all sample code and at the time of this writing, the latest version is 5.8.
5.0 out of 5 stars If u need to deal with ActiveMQ - this is your choice 26 Feb 2013
By yilativs - Published on Amazon.com
Format:Paperback
This book makes complex things look simple.

First it introduces you to JMS (if you know JMS already, just skip it)
Then the book tells you how to configure nearly everything in ActiveMQ (I was surprised how flexible ActiveMQ can be)
You will learn how to configure storage, protocols, security
You will learn how to integrate ActiveMQ into your application.
It will explain how to integrate and use ActiveMQ using Spring.
And finally you will learn how to tune ActiveMQ's performance.
