Mule And ActiveMQ – A Perfect Match

David Dossot on Friday, September 17, 2010

ActiveMQ in Action, an upcoming book from Manning Publications, may well end up being the perfect companion book for Mule In Action. Happily Ever After… Thanks to Mule ESB’s native support for Apache ActiveMQ and the capacity to transparently use Spring for advanced configuration needs, Mule has long been the ESB of choice to tap [...]
