JMS interfaces

 

WAS supports applications that use JMS 1.1 domain-independent interfaces and domain-specific interfaces as provided for JMS 1.0.2 in WAS.

WAS supports applications that use JMS 1.1 domain-independent interfaces (referred to as the "common interfaces" in the JMS specification). With JMS 1.1, the preferred approach for implementing applications is to use the common interfaces. The JMS 1.1 common interfaces provide a simpler programming model than domain-specific interfaces. Also, applications can create both queues and topics in the same session and coordinate their use in the same transaction.

The common interfaces are also parents of domain-specific interfaces. These domain-specific interfaces (provided for JMS 1.0.2 in WAS V5) are supported only to provide backward compatibility for applications that have already been implemented to use those interfaces.

Common interfaces	point-point interfaces	publish/subscribe interfaces
ConnectionFactory	QueueConnectionFactory	TopicConnectionFactory
Connection	QueueConnection	TopicConnection
Destination	Queue	Topic
Session	QueueSession	TopicSession
MessageProducer	QueueSender	TopicPublisher
MessageConsumer	QueueReceiver, QueueBrowser	TopicSubscriber
