What is a network protocol? Protocols are the rules of the road for how data exists and moves on the network. They allow many different systems and computers to communicate.
ActiveMQ Protocol
What is ActiveMQ Protocol?
It 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. It supports enterprise features and a high number of transport protocols.
What is the purpose of ActiveMQ
Written in Java, ActiveMQ translates messages from sender to receiver. It can connect multiple clients and servers and allows messages to be held in queue, instead of requiring both the client and server to be available simultaneously in order to communicate. Messaging can still happen even if one application is temporarily indisposed.
