STOMP Bridge Service

The STOMP (Streaming Text Oriented Messaging Protocol) open source project at http://stomp.codehaus.org defines a simple communication protocol that clients written in any language can use to communicate with any messaging provider that supports the STOMP protocol.

Message Queue provides support for the STOMP protocol through the STOMP bridge service. This service enables a Message Queue broker to communicate with STOMP clients.

The STOMP bridge service provides the features needed to fully integrate STOMP messaging into the JMS messaging environment of Message Queue:

• Registration with the Message Queue Port Mapper service so that STOMP clients can discover the service dynamically

• Support for TCP and SSL/TLS connections, including SSL/TLS connections requiring client authentication

• Automatic conversion of STOMP frame messages to and from JMS BytesMessage and TextMessage types

• Extensible message handling and transformation (by defining a custom message transformer)

• Support for the full STOMP protocol, including the STOMP JMS bindings
