[openamq-dev] Spec conformance chart? Shopping for a new broker

[Brad Clements]

Hi,

I am looking for a new message broker/bus. We're a Python shop currently 
using xmlBlaster. We have some Java (eXist, FOP)

I have looked at activeMQ, RabbitMQ, Qpid and OpenAMQ.

It would be helfpul for me to have some kind of "spec conformance" chart 
for OpenAMQ. Something like http://www.rabbitmq.com/compatibility.html 
but doesn't have to be so fancy.

For example, does OpenAMQ support file or stream class?

In addition to the usual program-to-program messaging, I also need to 
provide a REST http interface to browsers and embedded Python 
applications, authenticate those connections through LDAP and then 
control access to topics/queues/channels based on the user's group 
membership.

I intended to implement this gateway functionality in a WSGI stack using 
eventlet, running on nginx.

I'm just mentioning this also in case someone else has similar needs. 
Anyway, REST support is what attracted me to ActiveMQ, but it doesn't 
handle group based role mapping through LDAP "out of the box", and I'd 
be happier to get the same or better functionality w/o requiring Java. 
(mostly because my java foo is low). 


And I'm looking for an active (pardon the pun) message broker community 
as well.. That's important too.

Thanks,

-Brad
