Hi Drew,

    I my experience as a beginner to qpid I spent allot of time with the Ja=
va broker versions 6 and 7. I was trying to get some publish and subscribe =
applications working with SSL. With help from this board I came to the conc=
lusion that it was beyond my skills or not possible using the Java broker. =
So I used the C++ broker and got it working quickly using my java clients.=
=20
    So, I think the C++ is better in this side of things and the documentat=
ion also seems to be a bit more complete for the C++ version.

Cheers,

Tom=20

Subject: Why use the C++ broker versus the Java broker?

Hi. I'm new to Qpid (and AMQP in general). I'm having a bit of trouble dete=
rmining which broker to use. The compatibility page[1] says:

        There are two brokers:

        C++ with support for AMQP 0-10
        Java with support for AMQP 0-8, 0-9, and 0-10.

The C++ broker supports only a subset of what the Java broker does, so is t=
here any reason (other than the never-ending performance comparisons betwee=
n Java and native languages) to use the C++ broker?
Is the Java broker being replaced by the C++ broker? Is the C++ broker inte=
nded mainly for platforms without a reliable Java run-time? The permissions=
 structure seems to differ between the two brokers, with the C++ broker rel=
ying on a newer ACL system, but I haven't used it yet, so I'm relying on th=
e (somewhat sparse) documentation. I've tried to search the list archives f=
or answers to these questions but the only info I found referred to version=
 0.6, so I'm not sure that the info is still current.

Will someone explain this to me? Is this something that should be in the FA=
Q or am I just missing something obvious?
