I am currently trying to research how to use Android with an existing java based system. Basically, I need to communicate to/from an Android application.

The system currently passes object data from computer to computer using ActiveMQ as the JMS provider. On one of the computers is a display which shows object data to the user.

What we want to do now is use a phone (running Android) as another option to show this object data to a user with wifi/network access.

Ideally we would like to have a native application on the Android that would listen to the ActiveMQ topic and publish to another Topic and read/write/display the object data, but from some research I have done, I am not sure if this is possible.

What are some other ways to approach this problem? The android Phone needs to be able to send/receive data. I have been using the AndroidEmulator for testing.
