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.

Preface

The Java™ Message Service Tutorial and Reference provides an introduction to the Java Message Service (JMS) API for new users. It has the following goals:

  • To introduce the JMS API to new users, with simple JMS client program examples
  • To show how to use the JMS API within the Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE™ platform), with additional simple examples showing how to
  • Consume messages asynchronously with a message-driven bean
    Produce messages from an application client
    Produce messages from a session bean
    Access an entity bean from a message-driven bean
    Produce and consume messages on more than one system
    To provide a full reference to the JMS API for JMS client programmers

The audience for this book is programmers who expect to write JMS applications, especially applications for the J2EE platform ("J2EE applications") that use the JMS API. We assume that you are familiar with the Java programming language and that you have some experience with earlier versions of the J2EE platform.

In order to run the tutorial examples, we recommend that you download and install the Java 2 Software Development Kit, Enterprise Edition (J2EE SDK), version 1.3 or above, which is available at no charge and runs on the Solaris™ Operating Environment and on the Linux and Windows NT/2000 operating systems. See http://java.sun.com/j2ee/ for more information and a link to the J2EE SDK. You should first install the required version of the Java 2 Software Development Kit, Standard Edition (J2SE™ SDK), if it is not already installed.

You can download the examples in this book, along with an HTML version of the tutorial, from the following location: http://java.sun.com/products/jms/tutorial/. The downloaded examples are in a directory named jms_tutorial/examples (on UNIX(R) systems) or jms_tutorial\examples (on Microsoft Windows systems).

You may adapt the examples to other implementations of the JMS API and the J2EE platform, but you will need to study your vendor's documentation to determine how to modify the parts of the examples and instructions that deal with external resources, such as JMS administered objects (connection factories and destinations) and databases. For the J2EE platform examples, you will also need to adapt the instructions to use your vendor's packaging and deployment tools.

Part Two, the reference, is based on the API documentation for JMS version 1.0.2b. The reference describes all parts of the API that apply to JMS application programmers. It does not describe the methods and interfaces that are used only for implementing a JMS provider.

This book uses a few simple documentation conventions:

  • Monospace font is used for code, which includes what would be typed in a source code file or on the command line, URLs, file names, keywords, and names of classes, interfaces, exceptions, constructors, methods, and fields.
  • Italic code font is used for variables in text, command lines, and method explanations.
  • Italic font is used for introducing new terms, for book titles, and for emphasis.

We welcome your comments, questions, and suggestions. Please send them to the following e-mail address: jms-book@sun.com.

Errata for this book and information on other books in the Addison-Wesley Java series will be posted at http://java.sun.com/Series.
