Administration in a Development Environment

In a development environment, the emphasis is on flexibility. The Message Queue message service is needed principally for testing applications under development. Administration is generally minimal, with programmers often administering their own systems. Such environments are typically distinguished by the following characteristics:

• Simple startup of brokers for use in testing

• Administered objects instantiated in client code rather than created administratively

• Auto-created destinations

• File-system object store

• File-based persistence

• File-based user repository

• No master broker in multiple-broker clusters
