JMS components on V5 nodes
To provide messaging support on a WAS V5 node, there is at most one JMS server and some number of JMS resources configured for the default messaging JMS provider on that node.
A JMS server on a V5 node serves the JMS resources (connection factories and destinations) for that node. The JMS server is managed as a separate process to appservers on the same node. Any appserver within the domain can access JMS resources served by any JMS server on any node in the domain.
A connection factory encapsulates the configuration properties used to create connections with the JMS provider, to enable applications to access JMS destinations.
