Product Description
LEARN TO USE JAVA MESSAGING SOFTWARE IN YOUR DISTRIBUTED APPLICATIONS! As software becomes more complex, and the Web is leveraged further, the need for messaging software continues to grow. Virtually all software written today requires at least one form of internal, and even external, communication. Java Messaging explores the various methods of intra-process and inter-process messaging for Java software, such as JavaBean events, JMS, JAX-RPC, JAXM, SOAP, and Web Services. Programmers will learn the basics of these APIs, as well as how, when, and why to use each one, including how to use them in combination, such as combining SOAP with JMS over a WAN. The book begins by walking the reader through simple intra-process communication using JavaBean events. A set of classes is constructed that extend JavaBean events beyond one JVM, transparently using JMS. The messaging paradigms of JMS are explained thoroughly, including in-depth discussions on the theory and mechanics of message queues. Design patterns and helper classes are also explored, which ultimately combine to form a generic messaging framework that helps programmers avoid common pitfalls. This framework, explained throughout the book, provides for the seamless integration of JMS with SOAP Web Services that is required to build distributed applications. Starting from the first chapter, a comprehensive sample application (an online stock trading system) is built using the framework and messaging paradigms discussed in the book. By the end of the book, programmers will not only understand the various messaging paradigms, but they will also understand how to architect complex distributed applications that use them together - with a framework that provides a running start.
About The Author
Eric Bruno (Shirley, NY) has developed many distributed software systems involving the use of messaging software. His accomplishments include building foreign-exchange trading systems (Reuters Dealing 2000 and Dealing 3000), real-time quotes and news services, inter-bank credit transaction systems and order-routing systems, multi-tiered Web applications, news and quotes Web-Services, and Web-based publishing software. Several of his articles have appeared in C/C++ Users Journal and Dr. Dobb¿s Journal.
Customer Reviews & Comments
Excellent introduction to messaging, including healthy portions on JMS and web services. The writing style is clear, consistent, and to the point. Probably what I liked most was this no-nonsense writing style. If it's on a page, it's important to understand. The author doesn't waste your time with irrelevant discussions or out of scope topics. Editing and code presentation are top notch, making it easy to follow, and build upon from one example to the next. The author also shares some gotchas and considerations that I wouldn't have expected to see in an introductory discussion which were particularly valuable. Another great feature is one of the drawbacks of the book. The framework presented in the book is elegant, but in many of the examples, there is too much cognitive overhead involved in grokking the level of abstraction in the framework, and this takes away from actually learning the concepts. I would have liked to see more non-framework code for the introduction, which is then tied together with the framework.
