What Apache Qpid Broker-J is

Apache Qpid Broker-J is a Java message broker for storing, routing, and forwarding messages over AMQP. It supports AMQP versions 0-8, 0-9, 0-9-1, 0-10, and 1.0, including AMQP over WebSockets. For administration, it offers a web console, REST, and AMQP Management. Routing options include headers, message groups, and server-side selectors, while queues can use last-value, priority, or sorted behavior. Persistence is configurable with Derby, SQL, or BDB stores. The feature set also includes high availability, producer flow control, and flow to disk. Authentication can use LDAP, Kerberos, OAuth2, or SSL client certificates; access control lists and SSL connections are also supported. Broker-J is open-source software under Apache License 2.0 and is available for self-hosted deployments on Windows and UNIX systems. The listed current release is 10.1.1, with source archives and tar.gz or zip binaries. The project directs issue reports and improvement requests to Apache JIRA.
