JMS bindings

A Java™ Message Service (JMS) provider enables messaging based on the Java Messaging Service API and programming model. It provides JMS connection factories to create connections for JMS destinations and to send and receive messages.

JMS bindings can be used when you interact with the Service Integration Bus (SIB) provider binding, and are compliant with JMS and JCA 1.5.

You can use the JMS export and import bindings a SCA module to make calls to, and receive messages from, external JMS systems.

The JMS import and export bindings provide integration with JMS applications using the JCA 1.5-based SIB JMS provider that is part of WebSphere Application Server. Other JCA 1.5–based JMS resource adapters are not supported

• JMS bindings overview
  JMS bindings provide connectivity between the Service Component Architecture (SCA) environment and JMS systems.
• JMS integration and resource adapters
  

  The Java Message Service (JMS) provides integration through an available JMS JCA 1.5-based resource adapter. Complete support for JMS integration is provided for the Service Integration Bus (SIB) JMS resource adapter.

• JMS import and export bindings
  

  You can make SCA modules interact with services provided by external JMS applications using JMS import and export bindings.

• JMS headers
  A JMS message contains two types of headers–the JMS system header and multiple JMS properties. Both types of headers can be accessed either in a mediation module in the Service Message Object (SMO) or by using the ContextService API.
• JMS temporary dynamic response destination correlation scheme
  The temporary dynamic response destination correlation scheme causes a unique dynamic queue or topic to be created for each request sent.
• External clients
  The server can send messages to, or receive messages from, external clients using JMS bindings.
• Troubleshooting JMS bindings
  

  You can diagnose and fix problems with JMS bindings.

• Handling exceptions
  The way in which the binding is configured determines how exceptions that are raised by data handlers or data bindings are handled. Additionally, the nature of the mediation flow dictates the behavior of the system when such an exception is thrown.
