HornetQ can be used in other applications servers. We have provided our own JCA adapter. We have basically tested it into JBAS only, but I have reports of an user using it for instance on OpenEJB. We should do some tests with other application servers before GA. I would say JBoss Messaging is more dependent on JBAS due to the library dependencies. While HornetQ is totally independent.
