Fine grained authorisation for REST services

RabbitMQ integration

At this moment there is no way to connect with RabbitMQ topics or queus in a native way using B2Bi. RabbitMQ has AMQP as default protocol so it would be useful to have this possibility. A second option is to use the JMS 1.1 interface since RabbitM...
