Spring.NET MSMQ Support

[reza_rahman]

Hi:

I am the author of EJB 3 in Action from Manning Press. My company just won a large .NET contract and I am thinking of using Spring.NET as the primary platform for this project to give it a little more structure than the usual .NET project as well as "import" the notion of platform services.

For legacy reasons, the company is using MSMQ as their messaging backbone. Does Spring.NET currently support MSMQ? If not, are there plans to add support in the near future? How much work would you guys envision to create NMS style functionality for MSMQ?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Reza,

We're glad to hear you are leaning towards using Spring.NET in your project. If you need some help to get you started, please don't hesitate to ask.

Regarding NMS support, there is already an integration module available. You can grab it from our modules (http://www.springframework.net/modules.html) download section.

You can find the NMS project at ActiveMQ Home (http://activemq.apache.org/nms.html) - they also provide a MSMQ implementation.

I guess this is what you were looking for?

cheers,
Erich

Erich:

Thank you very much. It is a big relief to see that this is already implemented! I was imagining having to write home-made thread-pools for a project that does not have the budget for this kind of development...

I will definitely make sure to ask for help as I go along. I am 99% sure we will be using Spring.NET. Ithink it is a very logical way to bring beter platform support into a MS.NET project. I hope for all the best for you guys and wish more MS people would see the light...

Hi,

Don't forget Mark's article at InfoQ ( http://www.infoq.com/articles/jms-spring-messaging-interop ) and "the docs for the TIBCO EMS integation project should get you going while they get converted for use with NMS".

Hate to bug you guys, I hope this isn't an inane question...I can't seem to find the code to connect to MSMQ anywhere...

The NMS code seems like it connects to ActiveMQ only. Likewise for the EMS code...

Am I right? It's OK if the MSMQ code is beta, I'll be glad to work with it to get what I need...

Is the code with the ActiveMQ folks? Should I be posting on their forums instead?

Thanks in advance for your help...

I found the MSMQ source code, but not the binaries. Here it is: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/activemq/activemq-dotnet/trunk/src/main/csharp/MSMQ/
