Practical Java Message Service Tarak Modi, Ted Neward 2002 | 250 pages ISBN: |
DESCRIPTION
The Java Message Service (JMS) allows message queue vendors to expose their features and increase their market size while reducing the consumer's risk of being tied to a specific vendor. No wonder Sun Microsystems calls it a 'strategic' part of the Java 2 Enterprise Edition (J2EE). Industry support from high profile players such as IBM, Oracle, Novell, Sybase, and others makes it even more compelling for software professionals to master this key technology.
This book systematically explains JMS to an audience of software professionals who are not only interested in the theory but in real-world, practical ways of using this powerful API to create distributed, message-based, and vendor independent applications for the J2EE platform.
Included in this book are techniques for using JMS with EJB 1.1 and 2.0 and with JSP via custom tags. And finally, the book takes JMS to new heights by presenting a personalized JMS protocol (similar to HTTP) and a homegrown space implementation (similar to JavaSpaces). Complete source code for all applications is available for free download.
