What is the difference between jboss.jms and jboss.mq?

Question

What is the difference between org.jboss.jms.server.destination.QueueService and org.jboss.mq.server.jmx.Queue classes?

Answer 1

org.jboss.jms.server.destination.QueueService is part of JBossMessaging, which is the new JMS implementation for JMS that ships with JBoss AppServer version 5 and later (or JBoss EAP 4.3 or later).

org.jboss.mq.server.jmx.Queue is part of JBossMQ, which is part of the old (and now obsolete) JBoss JMS implementation found in JBoss AppServer versions prior to 4.2

Answer 2

As far as I know, JBossMQ will be replaced by JBoss Messaging in JBoss AS 5.0.

Answer 3

JBoss posts will be replaced with JBoss HornetQ :

HornetQ moves on to JBoss Messages as our main JMS implementation.
