Java Message Service
The
Java Message Service API is a
Java Message Oriented Middleware API for sending messages between two or more clients. The API supports two models:
- publish/subscribe model
- point-to-point or queuing model
The publish/subscribe model supports publishing messages to a particular message topic. Zero or more subscribers may register interest in receiving messages on a particular message topic. In this model, neither the publisher nor the subscriber know about each other.
In the point-to-point or queuing model,a producer posts messages to a particular queue and a consumer reads messages from the queue. Here the producer knows the destination of the message and posts the message directly to the consumer's queue.
