Does the JMS support broker plugin preclude AMQP based clients?

[Alan Kozlay]

When we install the JMS plugin to the RabbitMQ broker and use it with a Java JMS client, does that mean that a C API client can't use the RabbitMQ C API with the same topics the Java client uses?  In other words, does the JMS plugin replace AMQP?

Hello,

You can use all protocols that RabbitMQ supports simultaneously. Interop between them is one of RabbitMQ's strengths.

Thanks,

[Alan Kozlay]

Just to be clear, you're saying that a JMS client and a regular C client can both listen on the same topic, then.  Right?

[Luke Bakken]

Yes, RabbitMQ entities are not protocol specific.

Have you tried this out for yourself?

If you run into any issues, please feel free to use the mailing list for assistance.

Thanks,

There's interoperability between JMS and AMQP 0.9.1 destinations [1] with limitations for topics. See how JMS topics are implemented [2].
