Penn is looking into an application messaging platform (for various types of messages including authorization notifications), and we are evaluating ActiveMQ and Amazon SNS/SQS.

 

Others were interested in the POC we did, so I posted it on the wiki:

There are Java coding samples for SNS/SQS and a basic load test.

 

Penn will be talking with Amazon next week about it, if people are thinking of using SQS/SNS at their institution and have concerns, let me know and I can ask J

 

If we go forward with them (which some of us are leaning toward), I will do Grouper integration with SNS/SQS in two areas (at least):

 

1.       Change log consumer that sends messages to SNS, and the Grouper client which receives messages from SQS, and does something

2.       Change log consumer that maintains SNS/SQS security via Grouper permissions (i.e. allow an amazon application user to send/receive to SNS/SQS) like this:

Comments welcome J

 

Thanks,
