The JMS (Java Message Service) API (Application Program Interface) is a strategic technology for J2EE that provides a reliable, flexible service for the asynchronous exchange of critical business data and events throughout an enterprise - between computers rather than between users. By combining Java technology with enterprise messaging, the JMS API provides a new, powerful tool for solving enterprise computing problems. The JMS API adds to this a common API and provider framework that enables the development of portable, message based applications in the Java programming language. As a result enterprise messaging is now recognized as an essential tool for building enterprise applications. Book Description This book shows how you can use the Java Message Service (JMS) to create robust, asynchronous, loosely-coupled Java applications. It covers both the fundamental and advanced features of the latest 1.02 API, in both the Point-to-Point and Publish/Subscribe messaging domains. With JMS provision becoming mandatory in the next generation of J2EE 1.3 application servers, this book will prepare you for building portable, messaging-enabled web and middle tier solutions, including the use of the new message-driven EJBs. It also covers the emerging uses of messaging in the mobile domain, and the strong relationship that is building between new XML messaging standards, and small footprint JMS clients. Finally, the book also provides a practical guide to the use of JMS against many of the leading messaging vendors available, including among others FioranoMQ, WebLogic, and iBus//MessageServer. Summary This book is for professional Java developers who need to add enterprise messaging capabilities to their applications. No knowledge of JMS is required but it is assumed that the reader is familiar with Java and preferably with the enterprise APIs of JNDI, JSP and EJB, as well as some knowledge of XML.
