JavaJEEJMS
Introduction
The Java Message Service (JMS) API is a messaging standard that allows application components based on the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) to create, send, receive, and read messages. It enables distributed communication that is loosely coupled, reliable, and asynchronous.
Concepts are:
- JMS producer
- JMS consumer
- JMS client (producer and consumer)
- JMS queue
- JMS topic (distribution mechanismen to publish messages to subscribers)
Version 1.1 of the JMS API in the J2EE 1.4 platform has the following features:
- Message-driven beans enable the asynchronous consumption of JMS messages.
- Message sends and receives can participate in Java Transaction API (JTA) transactions.
- J2EE Connector Architecture interfaces that allow JMS implementations from different vendors to be externally plugged into a J2EE 1.4 application server.
