It's up to you. You'll find the bridge has other nice features like message batching - being able to specify a batch size and a max batch time. I.e. send a batch every 10 seconds and/or every 1000 messages. It also has reconnect functionality which makes it very useful over an unreliable WAN. We have lots of users/customers currently using it. Also bear in mind that some JMS providers don't provide an XA resource implementation that can be used outside their app server, so you won't be able use a JTA transaction, in which case having fine grained control over your qos becomes important so users can do stuff like duplicate detection at the end in order to get an effective "once and only once" guarantee.
