Financial Industry toats Open-Source Message Queueing Effort
(Found via Slashdot) During last week's, 2005 Web Services on Wall Street show:
John Davies has announced AMQ, an effort at JPMorgan Chase & Co. to create an open-source message queuing system that can compete with proprietary message systems like IBM MQSeries and Tibco/RV
Here is eWeek's article on the topic.
Side comment - funny quote is the 1st in the forums on the Slashdot screen, which states that:
"I think web services are going to be the next big thing."
Not that I want to start the open-source debate, but I wonder if this will *stick* and will see a successful adoption rate? I think it might from a MQSeries & Tibco/RV but will have slow growth in the Microsoft arena. However, as long we have access to the interface..... But, if it is incorporated as a unified standard in the financial industry, the adoption rate will definately be high :)
Does anyone know more about this? URLs for the AMQ project? Has anyone worked with it or is this an *idea* in it's infancy stage. I'd love to hear from people in the Financial industry...
