Java Message Service, Second Edition, is a thorough introduction to
the standard API that supports "messaging" -- the software-to-software
exchange of crucial data among network computers. You'll learn how JMS
can help you solve many architectural challenges, such as integrating
dissimilar systems and applications, increasing scalability, eliminating
system bottlenecks, supporting concurrent processing, and promoting
flexibility and agility.
Updated for JMS 1.1, this second edition also explains how this
vendor-agnostic specification will help you write messaging-based
applications using IBM's MQ, Progress Software's SonicMQ, ActiveMQ, and
many other proprietary messaging services.
With Java Message Service, you will:
- Build applications using point-to-point and publish-and-subscribe
messaging models
- Use features such as transactions and durable subscriptions to make an
application reliable
- Implement messaging within Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) using
message-driven beans
- Use JMS with RESTful applications and with the Spring application
framework
Messaging is a powerful paradigm that makes it easier to uncouple
different parts of an enterprise application. Java Message Service,
Second Edition, will quickly teach you how to use the key technology
that lies behind it.
