I need some ideas on integrating JBoss with ActiveMQ. Any suggestion? Is the integration straight forward? I have a requirement wherein I have to send emails asynchronously and after some research, I decided to use ActiveMQ for my purpose. Now I have a JBoss instance already running with an EJB application deployed and this application has a MDB which will get triggered when an email needs to be sent. This MDB will actually fetch any additional information from the database and form the appropriate message, connect to the MQ server to a Queue and dispatch the message. The second part is, I also have to set up an email server which will listen to this Queue and pick up any messages that arrive at this destination and send the emails accordingly. There are two essential things that I would like to know. One is how to integrate the ActiveMQ with JBoss and the second is on how to integrate ActiveMQ with a third party email server. I would also like to have some recommendations on which email server to use? Suggestions please!
