Java Message Service (JMS)
JMS defines (among other things):
| A messaging model: The structure of a JMS message and an API for accessing the information contained within a message. The JMS interface is, javax.jms.Message, implemented by several concrete classes, such as javax.jms.TextMessage. |
|
| Point-to-point (PTP) messaging: A queue-based messaging architecture, similar to a mailbox system. The JMS interface is javax.jms.Queue. |
|
| Publish/subscribe (Pub/Sub) messaging: A topic-based messaging architecture, similar to a mailing list. Clients subscribe to a topic and then receive any messages that are sent to the topic. The JMS interface is javax.jms.Topic. |
