JMS开源消息中间件有很多，本文对常见的几种进行了列举和简单比较，希望对MOM选型的个人和企业有所帮助
。
mom4j
mom4j是一个完全实现JMS1.1规范的消息中间件并且向下兼容JMS1.0与1.02.它提供了自己的消息处理存储使它独立于关系数据与语言,所以它的客户端可以用任何语言开发.
OpenJMS
OpenJMS是一个开源的Java Message Service API 1.0.2 规范的实现,它包含有以下特性：
*. 它既支持点到点（point-to-point）（PTP）模型和发布/订阅（Pub/Sub）模型。
*. 支持同步与异步消息发送
*. JDBC持久性管理使用数据库表来存储消息
*. 可视化管理界面。
*. Applet支持。
*. 能够与Jakarta Tomcat这样的Servlet容器结合。
*. 支持RMI, TCP, HTTP 与SSL协议。
*. 客户端验证
*. 提供可靠消息传输、事务和消息过滤
UberMQ
UberMQ完全实现了Java Message Service 规范。UberMQ是因为现有的许多JMS提供商已经违背了分布式计算的核心原则：快速与简单而开发的。
Hermes JMS 利用它提供的Swing UI可以很好的实现监控JMS providers。
ActiveMQ
ActiveMQ是一个开放源码基于Apache 2.0 licenced 发布并实现了JMS 1.1。它能够与Geronimo，轻量级容器和任Java应用程序无缝的给合。
Somnifugi
Somnifugi使得工作在同一个java虚拟机中的线程能实现消息互发。
MantaRay MantaRay基于peer-2-peer 技术。它具有以下特性:
1.它既支持点对点(point-to-point)的域，又支持发布/订阅(publish/subscribe)类型的域。
2.并且提供对下列类型的支持：经认可的消息传递,事务型消息的传递，一致性消息和具有持久性的订阅者支持。
3.消息过滤体制。
4.能与WebLogic and WebSphere 给合。
5.支持TCP, UDP 与 HTTP传输协。 Presumo Presumo也是一个实现Java Message Service API的JMS消息中间件。 JORAM JORAM一个类似于openJMS分布在ObjectWeb之下的JMS消息中间件。 JMS4Sdivad JMS4Sdivad是一个消息系统.它部分地实现了Java消息服务(JMS) API.

英文翻译词典工具软件与在线翻译全搜罗
无论是我们平时浏览网页还是阅读文献都会或多或少遇到几个难懂的英文词汇，这时我们就不免要翻词典了。网上的词典工具大概可以分为两种：离线词典，就是 可以不用联网，只要下载安装并运行就可以方便取词翻译；另外一种是在线词典，它需要我们访问一个网站，而后输入要查找的词汇等。现在我们就来总结一下线上 线下比较优秀的英汉词典。
一、在线词典
1、金山爱词霸（http://www.iciba.com/）
这是目前最好的线上词典工具之一。词汇量涵盖了150余本词典辞书，70余个专业领域，28种常备资料，中、日、英网际大辞海，提供在线及时更新，第一时 间掌握流行词汇表达并为每个词汇都提供了真人发音和相关词汇释意。同时网站的界面也采用了简、繁、英、日等语言编写，便于不同的人群使用。
同时，爱词霸还提供了多种扩展功能，如QQ、MSN机器人、Firefox插件等，使你可以随时随地地翻译词汇。具体可以查看http://web.iciba.com/partner/ ，找到更多实用工具
不过，受词霸已经被谷歌（Google）收购，据传谷歌将于5月8日推出新版的词霸，名字可能定为谷歌金山词霸，除了词霸原有功能外，还增加了网络翻译、图片解释等。
2、海词在线词典（http://www.dict.cn/）
海词在线词典由在美国印第安纳大学的中国留学生范剑淼创建。正式使用于2003年11月27日（美国的感恩节）。 虽然它的词汇量没有爱词霸庞大，但是它提供了大量例句并佩有真人发音，可以帮助矫正发音问题。
海词也提供了大量的小工具，你可以把它们添加到你的博客或者个人网站上来增加更多丰富多彩的功能。具体可以查看http://www.dict.cn/tools.html
3、译典通（http://www.dreye.com.cn/）
网站的所有者为英业达(上海)有限公司。译曲通提供了较大量的词汇并配有真人发音，同时可以查询同义词/反义词，词形变化等。另外还可以查询日语词汇，并配有日语、英语学堂。
4、雅虎字典（http://zidian.cn.yahoo.com/）
和爱词霸一样，具有词汇提示功能，比如你输入reci就会提示以其开头的所有单词，方便输入。雅虎字典一个最大的好处就是他能翻译网络词汇，在互联时代， 像汉字一样，很多旧词有了新解，这时候你就可以通过网络词汇来查找它的亲含意了。不过，雅虎的单词翻译是由译典通提供的。
5、有道词典（http://dict.yodao.com/）
有道是网易自主研发的搜索引擎，并提供词典功能。有道词典的释义也是来自译典通，但又有很多创新，比如英英翻译、网络解释、例句查询、同义词、反义词等，还可以创建自己的单词本。
6、百度词典（http://dict.baidu.com/）
百度词典的释义来自译典通，并且没有太大改进。类似于Handbook一类的工具书。
此外，在线词典还有很多，比如林语堂《当代汉英大词典》、韦氏在线词典、英语多功能词典等。
7、星际译王（http://www.stardict.cn/）
提供了大量的词汇翻译，支持多语言翻译。不过你要使用他的全部功能必须注册成为会员，还好，注册会员是免费的。星际译王还提供了Firefox插件，如果你使用的Firefox浏览器，不妨试试看，插件下载：http://www.stardict.cn/browserplugin.php
8、沪江小d（http://dict.hjenglish.com/）
解释详细，并且带有大量的例句解释和参考网页。界面清新，并提供了大量的语言工具链接
二、线下词典、翻译软件
1、金山词霸（http://cp.iciba.com/index.shtml）
相信金山词霸是目前使用最为广泛的汉英双语工具。他不仅词汇量，而且能够桌面即时取词使用也相当方便，还可以查询多学科词汇，可以说是做的相当成功的一款词汇软件（难怪谷查检和百度都盯上他了）。下载地址：http://cp.iciba.com/index.shtml （收费软件）。
P.S. 谷歌（Google）发布的新版词霸将是一款全免费软件。
2、灵格斯词霸（http://www.lingoes.cn/）
也是词霸哦，不过他是灵格斯，他是一款全免费可在线更新词库的词典工具。它的安装文件非常小，目前最新版也只有2.8M。使用者可以根据自己的需要下载不 同的词典库，如牛津高阶英语词典 (第6版)、朗文当代英语词典 (第4版) 、柯林斯高阶英语词典 (第4版) 等等。灵格斯只是一个外壳，你安装什么样的词典就能翻译什么样的词汇，所以你安装了法语、日语、甚至是爱斯基摩语词典，只要安装他就能翻译。其取词也比较 人性化，只有当同时按下Ctrl键时才会取词，也就是在你想用的时候才会用。

词库下载：http://www.lingoes.cn/zh/dictionary/index.html
3、有道桌面词典（http://cidian.yodao.com/）
和有道线上词典配套的工具。当前版本为1.1，大小为2.7M精简版只有1.16M。可以在线翻译、网络释义、海量例句、屏幕取词等。是一款轻量级的词典工具。
4、星际译王（http://stardict.sourceforge.net/）
一款开源且免费的翻译工具。支持全文翻译、网络词汇、鼠标取词等。它是一个跨平台的国际化的词典软件，有选中区取词，通配符匹配，模糊查询等强大功能。目 前已有两百多个词典，支持几十种语言,其中中文词汇有100多万。跨平台的国际词典软件！它功能强大，实用性强，“ 通配符匹配”，“鼠标查词”，“模糊查询”等功能倍受青睐！
下载：http://stardict.sourceforge.net/
5、babylon词典（http://www.babylon.com/）
来自以色列最强大的英文翻译软件 - Babylon Pro，在全球已有超过 70 个国家 2 千 2 百万人使用。Babylon-Pro 提供最专业英文翻译，有别于一般的翻译软件，Babylon 最迷人的是可外加其它语言字典，提供让您翻译一次可同时得到其它语言的翻译。例如您的字典清单中有英英、英中、英德、英日、英韩的字典时。当您查询一个英 文单字时，她便同时一次给您所有英中德日韩文的翻译。有付费和免费服务两种。
[b]6、雅虎乐译（http://soft.cn.yahoo.com/ly/）
安装包小于1M，同时还有乐译绿色版无需安装、免除卸载，解压缩即可立即使用。集成了网络词汇、鼠标取词、中英文双语解释等。
7、沪江小d桌面词典（http://dict.hjenglish.com/client/）
是沪江小d的离线工具，海量词汇，支持剪贴板取词。
三、在线翻译
再简单总结一下常用的在线翻译网站：
1、Google在线翻译：
谷歌的语言工具提供多种语言互译，同时还提供了全站翻译等，翻译还算比较准确。访问：http://www.google.cn/language_tools?hl=zh-CN
2、Yahoo!在线翻译
和谷歌相似，提供多种语言的全文翻译，翻译准确率较高。http://fanyi.cn.yahoo.com/
3、百度在线翻译
提供了比较简单的翻译功能，并可以使用Google的翻译工具。http://site.baidu.com/list/104fy.htm
4、爱词霸在线翻译
提供了金山快译的部分功能，同样提供多各语言的互译。每次最多可以翻译500字，不过翻译结果也是来自Google。网址：http://fy.iciba.com/
5、微软Windows Live翻译
这是软件专门用于提供翻译服务的网站，微软的翻译还是相当准确的，每次最多翻译500字，同时也提供网站全站翻译，支持多种语言。具体网址：http://www.windowslivetranslator.com/Default.aspx
6、华译网在线翻译
这是一家专业的翻译公司提供的在线翻译服务。http://www.readworld.com/
7、金桥翻译中心
这是比较老牌的线上翻译服务公司，提供免费服务，本科毕业的时候在上面翻译过论文。http://www.netat.net/
8、联通华建
曾经用过，所以还记得网址，大家不妨试试：http://www.165net.com/
9、国外的一个免费翻译网站freetranslation.com
也是以前用过的，网址也很好记，感觉这个的翻译结果还是比较令人满意的，翻译的时候你可以选择“人工翻译”和“自动翻译”，“人工翻译”是收费服务：http://www.freetranslation.com/
网上的英语免费资源工具资源应该还有很多，以上只是总结了本人使用过或者是比较熟悉的，希望大家多补充 :-)。

Some Web Services Security Tools
The following are some examples of useful Web Services security tools that are publicly available. These are not exhaustive, but they are fairly handy for understanding the new technology, evaluation, and Proof of Concept.
Titan (Security Hardening Tool). Titan is a fairly comprehensive platform-security assessment and hardening tool. You can download it from http://www.fish.com/titan/. To install it, uncompress the tar files, and run the installation script. The script "Titan" will scan the target host, and the script "TitanReport" will render the scanning analysis and recommendation.
VeriSign's Trust Services Integration Kit (XKMS). You can download TSIK version 1.1 from http://www.xmltrustcenter.org/developer/verisign/tsik/download.htm. There is a concise installation document. You need to add a few jar files (tsik.jar, xml_pilot_key.jar, xml_prod_key.jar, and xerces. jar) into the CLASSPATH in order to execute the sample programs or any home-grown programs.
IBM's XML Security Suite (XML-ENC, XML-DSIG, XACML). You can download the XML Security Suite (XSS4J) from http://alphaworks.ibm.com/tech/xmlsecuritysuite. You'll need to add some new jar files (xercesImpl.jar and xmlParserAPIs.jar from Xerces2 and xalan.jar and xml-apis.jar from Xalan2) to the CLASSPATH. The user interface for managing access rights control can be invoked by java com.ibm.xml.policy. tool.VisualTool.

Some Publicly Available Development/Productivity ToolsHere are some development or productivity tools that can be downloaded as a free trial:
The Java Web Services Developer Pack (JWSDP) from Sun Microsystems is a vendor-neutral Web Services Development Kit that avoids the need to purchase expensive Web Services packages. It provides basic tools but is not sufficient for serious or large-scale development. JWSDP provides:
How to Use JWSDP for DevelopmentJWSDP can be used for proof of concept/prototyping, as a rudimentary development platform for road warriors, and for coding simple SOAP messages for integration testing. To best utilize JWSDP, you can run JWSDP on Linux, Solaris OE™, or Windows NT. You can run it with a SOAP server administration, or run it with Apache Cocoon for any-to-any delivery. Something to Note. JWSDP has applied some special patches for JAR. There is also a version that is compatible with other stand-alone downloads of JAX Pack, Tomcat, or SOAP. 3.5.2 Selecting Your Web Services ToolsSelection CriteriaHere are some suggestions for selecting an appropriate Web Services tool for your IT shop: General

3.5.3 Industry DevelopmentThere are three major Web Services development technologies in the industry:
Leading technology vendors such as IBM and Microsoft have large-scale initiatives in developing Web Services toolkits and White Papers. There are many Application Server and Middleware vendors developing components that support Web Services, including BEA Weblogic, webMethods, and TIBCO. Many Web Services standard bodies have emerged since 2000. Among them, there are a few standard bodies (or related associations) that have large industry involvement:
Some examples of the supporting communities include:
SOAP and ebXMLWeb Services technology is intended to be platform- and vendor-neutral. It is expected that this technology be highly flexible for interoperability and integration. SOAP and ebXML standards are used for different reasons. This can be understood in the context of their underlying design principles and value proposition. The initial design of SOAP does not cater to non-XML contents such as EDI transactions. SOAP 1.1 with Attachment is a major breakthrough; it uses MIME to embed binary objects. The original design principles behind SOAP also support non-HTTP transport, though it has not been implemented at all. The security design of SOAP is highly volatile and weak at this stage. ebXML can be used to exchange XML contents (incorporating any XML document in the SOAP Body) and non-XML contents (embedding ANSI X12 transactions as attachments). The latter is the mechanism by which ebXML supports EDI documents. It now uses SOAP as the transport layer. ebXML differentiates from SOAP/UDDI by introducing business processes and JMS binding. It uses UML to model business processes. The business process and information models will help integrate with the business entities' back office applications. JMS binding provides a secure and reliable transport mechanism over HTTP. Table 3-6 summarizes some facts about different Web Services technology thought leaders.

Metro Tooling - Netbeans, Eclipse, Ant, Maven...
Metro - Glassfish Web Services stack comes with various tooling options. Here I provide the details details about the tooling options available for Metro.
More on Metro and Netbeans see:
Basic Web Services
See Arun's screen cast for the above steps.
Netbeans
Netbeans 5.5.1 comes with integrated Metro core (a.k.a JAX-WS RI) and a downloadable WSIT plugin. This allows you to develop web services solutions using easy to use GUI. NB 6 has integrated WSIT plugin.More on Metro and Netbeans see:
Basic Web Services
Adding Quality of Service(WS-* and .NET 3.0 interop)
Eclipse
The instructions below are for Eclipse for JavaEESetup
This is onetime setup- After starting Eclipse, select the J2EE perspective: Windows>Open Perspective>Others>J2EE
- In the lower window you should see a tab with label
Servers. Select the tab and right click in the window and select new>Server. - To download the GlassFish server, select Download additional server adapters. Accept the license and wait for Eclipse to restart.
- After Eclipse has restarted, you can create a new GlassFish V2 Java EE5 server.
- In the creation dialog select Installed Runtimes and select the directory where your GlassFish installation resides.
How to create a Web service
- To create the HelloWorld service, create a new dynamic Web project. Give it a name (e.g. helloworld) and select as target runtime GlassFish
- In that project you can create the class HelloWorld
package sample;
import javax.jws.WebService;
@WebService
public class HelloWorld {
public String hello(String param){
return param + ", World";
}
} - Deploy the service by selecting the project and select Run as>Run on server.
- Check that in the server Window that helloworld project has status Synchronized. If this is not the case, right-click in the server window and select publish.
- You can check that the GlassFish server is started and contains the Web service, by going to the admin console of GlassFish (localhost:4848)
See Arun's screen cast for the above steps.
Creating Web Service Client using Wsimport CLI
- Create a new project for the HelloWorld client (an ordinary Java project suffices).
- Select Add Glassfish v2 as Server Runtime in Build Path.
- Right clieck->BuildPath->Add Library->ServerRuntime->Glassfish v2
- Open a command window and go into the source directory of that project in Eclipse. For example, if the Eclipse workspace is in path
c:\home\vivekp\workspaceand the name of the project is echostringclient, then you need to go toc:\home\vivekp\workspace\helloworld\src. In this directory executewsimport -keep http://localhost:8080/helloworld/HelloWorldService?wsdl. On Linux or with Cygwin on Windows, you need to escape the ? by using \? instead. - Select refresh in the project view to see the generated files.
- Now you can create the client class HelloWorldClient
- You can execute the client, by selecting the HelloWorldClient in the package explorer of Eclipse and selecting Run>Java Application. In the console window of Eclipse, you should see "Hello World".
Creating Web Service Client using Wsimport Ant Task
You can pretty much avoid steps 3 - 5 above by using an Ant build.xml file.- Select helloworldclient in Package Exp and create a new file build.xml
- In this file (build.xml) copy the sample ant build script
- Then select build.xml in the package explorer, then Right Click->Run As->Ant Build...
- Invoke client target, it will run wsimport ant task and generate the client side stubs
- Invoke run to invoke the endpoint and run the client or you can execute the client, by selecting the HelloWorldClient in the package explorer of Eclipse and selecting Run>Java Application. In the console window of Eclipse, you should see "Hello World".
Creating Web Service Client using SOAP UI Plugin
- Inside Eclipse, install SOAP UI Plugin
- Select "Help"/"Software Updates"/"Find and Install..."
- Select the "Search for new features to install" option
- Press the "New Remote Site" button and add http://www.soapui.org/eclipse/update/site.xml as the plugin URL
- Select Finish and the follow the dialogs to install the soapUI feature
- Create a new project for the HelloWorld client (an ordinary Java project suffices).
- Select Add Glassfish v2 as Server Runtime in Build Path.
- Right clieck->BuildPath->Add Library->ServerRuntime->Glassfish v2
- Select the project and Right Click->Soap UI->Add SOAPUI Nature, SOAP UI WebService item will be added in Project Explorer
- Select SOAP UI perspective
- Right click on Projects->hellowworlclient->Add WSDL from URL, enter the deployed service URL:
http://localhost:8080/helloworld/HelloWorldService?wsdl. This will import the wsdl and you will see HelloWorldPortBinding - Select HelloWorldPortBinding and Right Click->GenerateCode->JAX-WS Artifacts
- Enter the appropriate info in the JAX-WS Artifacts window
- Click Tools and enter the location of JAX-WS Wsimport, for example c:\glassfish\bin
- Click OK
- Then click Generate on JAX-WS Artifacts window, it will display dialog box the operation was successful. Switch back to Java Perspective, then refresh the src folder and you can see the wsimport generated classes
- Now implement your client code
package sample;
public class HelloWorldClient {
/**
* @param args
*/
public static void main(String[] args) {
//Create Service
HelloWorldService service = new HelloWorldService();
//create proxy
HelloWorld proxy = service.getHelloWorldPort();
//invoke
System.out.println(proxy.hello("hello"));
}
}
- You can execute the client, by selecting the HelloWorldClient in the package explorer of Eclipse and selecting Run>Java Application. In the console window of Eclipse, you should see "Hello World".
Netbeans offers an easy to use a comprehensive Metro tooling choice. On Eclipse you can use SOAP UI or ant build script or CLI or even Mavem based tools, which does not look bad. There is RFE on Eclipse and looks like it is being looked at.
For the Quality Of Service features (WS-* features) it is little difficult as manually creating/modifying WSIT configuration is hard, so we need equivalent of WSIT Plugin in NetBeans for Eclipse. It will be great if anyone would like to do the WSIT plugin for Eclipse. Please let us know if you are willing to write a WSIT plugin for Eclipse.

SOA Frameworks
ESBs
- Apache ServiceMix is a JSR-208, open-source ESB compliant with the Java Business Integration (JBI) specification. ServiceMix is a full ESB that can work with many different SOAP Stacks such as Axis, WSIF, XFire, ActiveSOAP and JAX-WS. ServiceMix also has full support for Routing, Transformation and Orchestration.
- OpenESB implements an Enterprise Service Bus (ESB) runtime using Java Business Integration (JBI) as the foundation.
- Mule is an open source ESB (Enterprise Service Bus) and integration platform with JBI Integration.
- JBossESB
Webservice Frameworks
- Apache CXF is an open source services framework. CXF helps you build and develop services using frontend programming APIs, like JAX-WS. These services can speak a variety of protocols such as SOAP, XML/HTTP, RESTful HTTP, or CORBA and work over a variety of transports such as HTTP, JMS or JBI.
- Axis2 is an implementation of the SOAP ("Simple Object Access Protocol") submission to W3C.
- Metro is a extensible, easy-to-use web service stack. It is a one-stop shop for all web service needs, from the simplest hello world web service to reliable, secured, and transacted web service that involves .NET services.
Tools
- Apache Tuscany - a robust infrastructure that simplifies the development of SOA-based systems, including: Service Component Architecture (SCA), Service Data Object (SDO), and Data Access Service (DAS). Tuscany is not a ESB, but it's simplify the assembly of components of composite applications according to the SCA specification.
- Apache Synpase - a robust, lightweight implementation of a highly scalable and distributed service mediation framework based on Web services specifications. Synapse is not a full ESB in the most common sense of the term.
