JORAM: Java (TM) Open Reliable Asynchronous Messaging

JORAM Logo Open Hub project report for JORAM

JORAM is an open source Java implementation of JMS (Java Message Service) API specification (compliance with JMS 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0). Joram requires a version of Java higher than Java 8, it is tested with versions 8, 11 and 17.

JORAM is a mature project started in 1999, it is released under the LGPL license since May 2000.
It provides a production ready distributed MOM already used within many critical operational applications.

Introduction

JORAM incorporates a 100% pure Java implementation of JMS API and specification.
It provides access to a really distributed MOM (Message Oriented Middleware), built on top of the ScalAgent D.T. AAA or A3 agents based platform:

Joram is now designed with an OSGiTM based services architecture to provide a dynamically adaptable messaging server:

  • The Joram server can be launched as a set of OSGi bundles (it is always possible to launch the server as a classic Java program).
  • Additional services can be started, stopped, reconfigured: Command line interface, Web console, etc.

Joram can carry many plugins (AMQP, MQTT, Stomp, etc.) and become a multi-protocol gateway.

Last versions of JORAM are JMS 1.1, 2.0 and 3.0 compliant. Moreover embedded in a JEE server, JORAM has passed all tests concerning JMS certification in the Java EE certification TCK.

Professional Support and training are available from Scalagent D.T..

September, 2015: JoramMQ/MQTT scales up to 750.000 concurrent connections on a unique VM.

At the request of a user we conducted a study on the stability of JoramMQ / MQTT under stress conditions including a very high throughput of messages and an extremely large number of clients.

The goal of this benchmark is to demonstrate the vertical scalability of the JoramMQ server using a simple VM. The VM used during the tests was a 4 VCPU with 16Gb running CentOS7.1 with no Linux kernel recompilation. Under these conditions JoramMQ/MQTT has successfully handled 750,000 concurrent connections.

The MQTT 3.1.1 plugin implemented by ScalAgent D.T. is integrated with JoramMQ Entreprise and is available for evaluation.

Details of this experience are available on request: contact@scalagent.com.

May, 2015: MQTT V3.1.1 implementation on top of Joram.

The MQTT plugin implemented by ScalAgent D.T. is now fully compliant with the last version 3.1.1 of the MQTT protocol, this plugin is integrated with JoramMQ Entreprise and is available for evaluation.

An intensive performance evaluation campaign demonstrates the stability and scalability of the middleware, under stress conditions including a very high throughput of messages and an extremely large number of clients.

October 9 2014: PRESENTATION AT JFSMA14.

ScalAgent DT presents its technology at the 22nd JFSMA, a French conference on multi-agent systems at Loriol-sur-Drôme.

This presentation details the technological core of Joram: the distributed execution engine implements a reactor pattern, where agents communicate exclusively through events and react to events atomically. This technology enables ScalAgent‘s agents to interact effortlessly, be they located on the same system or on different ones.

It is at the core of several of our products, Joram or JoramMQ, the monitoring/control solutions developed for the CNES, or the mediation solution of TagSys RFID.

September 18, 2014: CNES workshop - Mobility for operations

CNES (the french space agency) has organized a workshop on 18th September about mobility for operations. The question is to allow remote users to use the services of an operations center from Internet. This could be for controlling a satellite, or for managing scientific on-board instruments. The topic covers also cooperative missions which involve several agencies and other entities.

David Féliot will be there for ScalAgent D.T. to present the interest of the MQTT technology in this context, and the value of the MQTT implementation in JoramMQ Entreprise.
