The requirements our message bus solution needs to satisfy
- We need persistence
- Topics as well as simple queues should be supported
- Messages are exchanged asynchronously
- Transformation of data between sender and consumer is not needed
- We need broad API support from common languages - especially Java and C#
- We need SSL support on the wire protocol
- Message payload should be signed - so payload shout not be changed by the bus
- High flexibility
- Low complexity
- The bus must be usable "out of the box", programming shold not be necessary on the server side
- Handling of timeouts would be nice
