Thank you for mentioning WebORB. I would like to add that the product is also available for free for Java and provides unlimited connectivity between Flex, Flash clients and Java POJOS, EJBs and Spring beans.

If you want to do messaging with Rails you don’t need to wait for AMQP to be finished (which might take a long time! or limit yourself to only AMQP based message brokers (of which there are only a small number and of limited quality and features).

You can use ActiveMessaging today and use the STOMP protocol which works with ActiveMQ as well as any JMS provider via StompConnect so you can use legacy messaging systems like MQ Series or TibCo too together with any AMQP provider if you really wanna use those.

Also no ESB is required for working with Rails and messaging via ActiveMQ or Stomp.
