New Installation Program

Message Queue 4.4 Update 1 provides a new multiplatform installer based on the pkq(5) system, also known as IPS or Image Packaging System. For information about this installer, see Sun GlassFish Message Queue 4.4 Update 1 Installation Guide.

Transaction Log Support for Clusters

Message Queue 4.4 Update 1 adds a transaction persistence mechanism for file-based data stores that supports broker clusters. This mechanism provides other features as well, as described in Optimizing File-Based Transaction Persistence in Sun GlassFish Message Queue 4.4 Administration Guide.

In-Process Broker

Message Queue 4.4 Update 1 supports running a broker from within a Java client. Such a broker, called an in-process or embedded broker, runs in the same JVM as the Java client that creates and starts it.
