| <p>Spread Toolkit is a C++ library for messaging and only has <a shape="rect" class="external-link" href="http://www.spread.org/JMS4Spread/docs/" rel="nofollow">partial support for JMS</a>. It doesn't support durable messaging, transactions, XA or full JMS 1.1. It is also dependent on a native code Spread daemon running on the machine.</p> |
