Overview

Java Message Service API Tutorial and Reference provides a clear and complete introduction to the Java Message Service (JMS) API. This book illustrates how to use the JMS API to build applications that create, send, receive, and read messages. Beginning with comprehensive descriptions of fundamental JMS concepts and building blocks, the coverage extends to all aspects of running and creating JMS applications. Each topic area is supported by relevant and well-crafted JMS program examples that demonstrate how to put the technology to work.

The JMS API is an integral part of the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE platform). Developed by Sun Microsystems in close cooperation with enterprise messaging partners, JMS works together with other technologies to provide reliable, asynchronous communication between components in a distributed computing environment. It delivers a new, powerful tool for enterprise messaging--the cornerstone of today's enterprise applications.

You will find in-depth coverage on how to:

Create and run JMS client programs
Use the JMS API within the J2EE platform
Consume messages asynchronously with a message-driven bean
Produce messages from an application client and from a session bean
Access an entity bean from a message-driven bean
Create applications for the J2EE platform that use the JMS API to
Consume messages Produce messages Access an entity bean

From BytesMessage to TransactionRolledBackException, a useful alphabetical reference provides complete information on all facets of the JMS API.

Additionally, the tutorial example programs are downloadable from the Sun Web site, so that you can adapt them to implementations of the JMS API and the J2EE platform.

Written by an expert team, the book offers an unparalleled technical understanding of JMS and its integration into the J2EE platform. Its thorough and practical coverage of JMS makes it easy for developers working in a distributed Java technology environment, and those familiar with the J2EE platform, to efficiently integrate the JMS API.

Synopsis

Sun Microsystems' comprehensive, authoritative Java Message Service tutorial and reference.

Up-to-the-minute coverage of Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition, Release 1.3.
Message production and consumption, in depth: application clients, message-driven beans, session beans, and more.
Integrating JMS and J2EE with legacy back office and enterprise systems.

Java Message Service (JMS) represents a powerful solution for communicating between Java enterprise applications, software components, and legacy systems. In this authoritative tutorial and comprehensive reference, Sun's Java Message Service architects offer start-to-finish coverage of peer-to-peer JMS development with Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition, Release 1.3. JMS is now fully integrated into the J2EE platform -- and this is the first book to show how to make the most of JMS in the context of sophisticated J2EE application development. The authors begin by introducing the JMS API to developers who are new to it. Then, with the help of extensive programming examples, they demonstrate key JMS techniques for enabling applications to create, send, receive, and read messages, and for integrating with existing back office and enterprise systems. Coverage includes: consuming messages asynchronously with message-driven beans; producing messages from application clients; accessing entity beans from message-driven bean; producing messages from session beans; and much more. For all Java developers building applications that must communicate and share information.
