What tools do you use to implement SOA/Messaging?

NServiceBus and MassTransit are two tools that can be used to implement messaging with MSMQ and other message queues.

I find that once you start using messaging to have applications talk to each other, you don't really want to go back to the old RPC style.

My question is, what other tools are out there? What tools do you use?

We use the old WebSphere Message Broker 6.1 (now IBM Integration Bus) that is fast and reliable once you are acquainted.

I use IBM software stack because it has the widest set of features (pub/sub, async, sync) and platform support (60+ combination of platform, languages) and also a great set of free tools provided by IBM

For Operations, I use use the linear log rotation IBM WebSphere MQ supportpac

For development and testing, I like RFHUTIL to generate fake cobol, java, MS objects, other binary and text objects and SOAPUI to invoke HTTP web services. If I need to invoke MQ based web services, I go back to RFHUtil. Of course Websphere MQ Explorer for admin.

We use WCF services for synchronous message based operations, and nServiceBus for anything asynchronous.

WCF is extremely powerful and should be looked into by anyone in the .NET space starting up a message based system.

I would recommend against BizTalk unless you can make a lot of use out of it's adapters (ie. you have a lot of old systems to communicate with).

Nuedesic makes a great WCF based ESB, Neuron, if you are willing to pay a bit.

WebSphere Message Broker is IBM's flagship ESB which runs ontop of MQ.

They also produce WebSphere ESB which is a slightly lighter offering which specialises in ESB across web services.

Apache ActiveMQ is probably the most popular and powerful open source message broker out there with the most active open source community behind it as well as commercial support, training and tooling if you need it.

One of the more interesting aspects of ActiveMQ is its wide support for a large number of different language bindings and transport protocols
