Asynchronous messaging

The product supports asynchronous messaging based on the Java Message Service (JMS) of a JMS provider that conforms to the JMS specification version 1.1.

The JMS functions of the default message service in WAS are served by one or more messaging engines (in a service integration bus) that runs within application servers.

In a deployment manager cell, there can be WAS v5 nodes. If a v5 node is configured to use V5 default messaging (the v5 embedded messaging), there can be at most one JMS server on that node.

 

Generic Servers

A generic server is a server that is managed in the WebSphere administrative domain, although it is not a server that is supplied by the WAS product. The generic server can be any server or process that is necessary to support the Application Server environment.
