What is JMS?- JMS is an acronym used for Java Messaging Service.
- The Java Message Service defines an intra-business messaging API, designed to be easily and efficiently supported by a wide range of enterprise messaging products.
- Enterprises need to send and receive multiple messages.
- JMS supports this requirement by using asynchronous messaging.
- The Java Message Service is a Java API that allows applications to create, send, receive, and read messages.
- Designed by Sun and several partner companies, the JMS API defines a common set of interfaces and associated semantics that allow programs written in the Java programming language to communicate with other messaging implementations.
- The JMS API minimizes the set of concepts a programmer must learn in order to use messaging products but provides enough features to support sophisticated messaging applications.
- It also strives to maximize the portability of JMS applications across JMS providers in the same messaging domain.
- The JMS API enables communication that is not only loosely coupled but also:
Asynchronous: A JMS provider can deliver messages to a client as they arrive; a client does not have to request messages in order to receive them.
Reliable: The JMS API can ensure that a message is delivered once and only once. Lower levels of reliability are available for applications that can afford to miss messages or to receive duplicate messages.
