Product Review
Aimed at the more experienced Java developer who needs to work with enterprise messaging, Java Message Service API Tutorial and Reference delivers starter code and a complete reference to all JMS classes that you will need to know to work effectively with this powerful feature of the J2EE platform.
The no-nonsense, just-the-facts approach of this dual tutorial/reference is perhaps its salient feature. It explains the basics of asynchronous messaging and its advantages for robust enterprise-level applications before digging right in to JMS. The authors do a good job at explaining the difference between point-to-point and publish/subscribe models of message delivery. They also give a laundry list of areas to look at to ensure reliability and robustness in JMS systems, including looking at dos and don'ts for acknowledgement, message priority, and durability.
The real focus early in the book is on the simple, but effective, sample code used to illustrate the basic APIs with short, complete examples. Though somewhat demanding, this code will be for the more experienced reader all you need to get going with JMS. There are examples of both point-to-point and publish-subscribe APIs in action. Importantly, because working with JMS can be tricky, the authors don't skimp on the practical details of compiling, deploying, and running each application. Other examples look at JMS used with Enterprise JavaBeans, including the new EJB 2.0 message bean, plus how to use JMS correctly with session and entity beans. (This can also be tricky, and the authors go through the steps of packaging up and deploying bean JAR files, as well.)
More than half of this book is an alphabetical listing of the 46 classes available in JMS. Each class is explained, along with options and tips for using the class where appropriate. There is full coverage of basic message and exception classes and the classes you need to use for basic point-to-point and publish/subscribe processing. Obviously, this material is a must for those who prefer a printed reference instead of online help. With a quick-start tutorial and concise (yet complete) reference to all JMS classes, this title will serve a useful function for the working enterprise Java developer. --Richard Dragan
Topics covered: Introduction to messaging, the Java Message Service (JMS) API architecture, point-to-point and publish/subscribe messaging domains described, essential JMS programming APIs (connections, sessions, message producers and consumers), the structure of messages, simple point-to-point and publish/subscribe examples (including guide to deployment and execution), JMS used with multiple systems (including J2EE and non-J2EE messaging interoperability), JMS reliability mechanisms (acknowledgement, persistence, priority levels, durable subscriptions, local transactions), building J2EE clients used with message, session, and entity beans (including deployment and execution tips), a sample using multiple J2EE servers, reference to all JMS APIs: including topic and message classes, exception classes, queue classes, sessions and connections, and appendix with JMS client examples.

Book Description
The Java EE 5 Tutorial is an introduction to programming server-side Java applications. This book takes a task-oriented, example-driven approach to show you how to build applications for the Java EE 5 platform. This book also describes the features and functionalities available with NetBeans 5.5. What's new in this edition? The author team have updated the existing chapters to reflect the changes to JSP, EJB, Servlets, and more. Also, the authors have added new chapters on the Sun Java System Application Server 9 as a deployment environment for server-side technologies. The web-tier technology chapters cover the components used in developing the presentation layer of a Java EE 5 or stand-alone web application. The web services technology chapters cover the APIs used in developing standard web services. The Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) technology chapters cover the components used in developing the business logic of a Java EE 5 application. The Persistence technology chapters cover the Java Persistence API, which is used for accessing databases from Java EE applications. The platform services chapters cover the system services used by all the Java EE 5 component technologies
Customer Reviews & Comments
This review is from: Java(TM) Message Service API Tutorial and Reference: Messaging for the J2EE(TM) Platform (The Java Series) (Paperback)
A lucid and authoritative description of Java Message Service, from Sun Microsystems, which developed and owns it. JMS is designed for an environment of distributed computers, where applications need to communicate with each other and databases across the network. You can think of JMS as one of the enablers of Sun's longtime slogan "The Network IS The Computer". JMS is loosely coupled distributed networking, where the sender and receiver do not have to be running at the same time. Plus they do not need to know each other's methods, quite unlike RMI [a tightly coupled technology]. This makes for potentially much greater flexibility in network computing. The book emphasises this, with detailed examples of source code showing how to use JMS with Enterprise Java Beans, another technology invented by Sun. You can see how to hook JMS to a session bean or an entity bean, and how to combine JMS with several Message Driven Beans. The text is clearly written, with attention paid to how you can run the examples under Microsoft Windows or Unix. The book also suggests two sequels. It describes using JMS with J2EE, the Java Enterprise Edition, which is the full Java environment. But in a world of PDAs, cell phones and other mobile gadgets, what would be interesting is a description of JMS running under a slimmed down Java environment, like kvm, and how this would scale with the number of devices. A second sequel might be a comparison of JMS with JXTA, another Sun technology for mobile computing. Who know? Perhaps Sun is already working on this! If you are programming in a distributed computing environment, consider using JMS as an enabling technology, and this book as its indispensible guide.
