<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Calibri,sans-serif;font-size:14px"><div>I'm fairly new to the area of messaging and am currently trying to sort out our messaging systems and make them more robust from the experimental system that we have been working with in the last couple of months. One of the requirements is to try and standardise the types of message broker being used whilst retaining the existing flexibility that messaging allows us.�</div>
<div><br></div><div>For the newer systems, I use RabbitMQ with PHP.�We have a legacy system that is Java based and has had Active MQ added to it to interact with the messaging system that we are developing. Moving this to Rabbit is not currently an option due the Java system using JMS to send out updates. Although I've got a STOMP client reading from Active into the PHP system, I've been looking at the possibility and practicality of getting the ActiveMQ broker to talk to RabbitMQ.�</div>
<div><br></div><div>The messaging sits across three different network areas of the business and has to communicate across firewalls. I'm trying to get the ActiveMQ broker to communicate with the RabbitMQ broker using the STOMP adaptor.�</div>
<div><br></div><div>I've been experimenting with the STOMP plugin on Rabbit 2.7.0 on Ubuntu 10.10 virtual machine (assume IP of 1.2.3.4) and trying to get it to listen to an ActiveMQ broker on <a href="http://1.2.3.5:61618">1.2.3.5:61618</a> (Ubuntu 10.10 virtual machine). Having set up the tcp_listener in rabbitmq.config �as {"1.2.3.5", 61618}, the broker replies with an "eaddrnotavail" as I was trying to get the Rabbit broker to listen to the port which ActiveMQ is publishing, having had a PHP STOMP script listening to the same port previously.�</div>
<div><br></div><div>Is it possible to configure Rabbit in this way so that I can have standardise our system onto Rabbit? Or alternatively would I need to write a bridge to consume from Active and publish to Rabbit? Even then though, having typed this, I assume that the message would come across in STOMP rather than be translated into AMQP (unless I did this in the aforementioned bridge), so I would still need two consumers since we have AMQP and STOMP messages coming across the network.�</div>
<div><br></div><div>Many thanks in advance for any help and advice.�</div><div><br></div><div>Best,�</div><div><br></div><div>Iain</div></span>
