Spring and JMS: Message Driven POJOs

The Java Message Service (JMS) provides an standard messaging API that allows you to send and receive messages using a variety of messaging providers (including Java EE application servers). The Spring Framework takes this abstraction one step further by providing an robust JMS messaging framework that greatly simplifies message processing. In this session we will see how to use the JMS Messaging Framework provided in Spring 2.5. I will start by describing Spring's overall messaging architecture and how to configure the various beans needed for messaging. Then, through interactive coding I will discuss and demonstrate Spring's JMS Template. which is used for sending messages and receiving messages synchronously. I will then discuss and demonstrate Message Driven POJOs, which are Spring's answer for asynchronous message listeners. After attending this session you will have all the necessary knowledge and code examples to use JMS in your Spring applications.

  • The Java Message Service (JMS) provides a way for the components of a distributed application to talk asynchronously, or for welding together legacy enterprise systems. Think of it as application-to-application e-mail. Unlike COM, JMS uses one or more JMS servers to handle the messages on a store-and-forward basis, so that the loss of one or more components doesn't bring the whole distributed application to a halt.

    JMS consists of a set of messaging APIs that enable two types of messaging, publish-and-subscribe (one-to-many) and point-to-point (one-to-one). The highly lucid explanation of the ways in which these work makes the technical content a lot more approachable. In practice, however, Java Message Service is still a book for Java programmers who have some business programming experience. You need the background.

    After a simple JMS demonstration in which you create a chat application using both messaging types, the authors dissect JMS message structures, explore both types in detail, and then move on to real-world considerations. These include reliability, security, deployment, and a rundown of various JMS server providers. The appendices list and describe the JMS API, and provide message reference material.

    Considering the complexity and reach of the subject matter, Java Message Service does a great job of covering both theory and practice in a surprisingly efficient manner. It's easy to see why JMS has become so popular so quickly. Recommended. --Steve Patient, Amazon.co.uk
