Java Messaging Service

  • Provides asynchronous message based communication to Java applications.
  • There are two styles of JMS:
    • Queues - Messages are stored in queues where they can be processed in the order received.
    • Publish and Subscribe - Multiple subscribers are notified when messages are published.
  • JMS can guarantee message delivery
  • Messages can be processed as part of a transaction. If the transaction is rolled back, the message activity is also rolled back.
