Java Message Service: Creating Distributed Enterprise Applications

by Richard Monson-Haefel, Mark Richards, David A. Chappell

Java Message Service, Second Edition, is a thorough introduction to the standard API that supports "messaging" -- the software-to-software exchange of crucial data among network computers. You'll learn how JMS can help you solve many architectural challenges, such as integrating dissimilar systems and applications, increasing scalability, eliminating system bottlenecks, supporting concurrent processing, and promoting flexibility and agility.

Updated for JMS 1.1, this second edition also explains how this vendor-agnostic specification will help you write messaging-based applications using IBM's MQ, Progress Software's SonicMQ, ActiveMQ, and many other proprietary messaging services.

With Java Message Service, you will:

* Build applications using point-to-point and publish-and-subscribe messaging models
* Use features such as transactions and durable subscriptions to make an application reliable
* Implement messaging within Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) using message-driven beans
* Use JMS with RESTful applications and with the Spring application framework

Messaging is a powerful paradigm that makes it easier to uncouple different parts of an enterprise application. Java Message Service, Second Edition, will quickly teach you how to use the key technology that lies behind it.

The book is great. I was reading it a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it. Most probably we SHOULD encourage parctical programmers to WRIET more books like this. The book I've read before this one (I don't even remember the name) was so boring and ABSTRACT that I didn't even finish the first chapter. This one, though, is pretty down to earht and practical. Thumbs up!

Good overview.

This is a very good introductory book on java message service. This book is has a very nice and light reading. Nevertheless you are presented with a very complete approach to the specification. Furthermore you are warned for different architectures pros and cons for all of them. Queue and topics are discussed in a very productive way. You JMS on J2EE is discussed as well as JMS on spring. The only one downside of the book is some degree of repetitiveness on some of the contents. On an overall perspective we must say that this is a good technical book as is norma with O'Reilly

This book on JMS does a decent job of introducing Java messaging and has good sample code. Where it falls short is in the places where JMS itself falls short. It glosses over JMS shortcomings and doesn't say much at all on approaches one might take to work around them.

Even so, it's a good introduction and worthwhile for anyone who needs to learn about JMS.

An excellent resource for JMS patterns, design recommendations and contextual implementation for both JEE and Spring environments.

Read the first version.

Really good introductory book for JMS. Contains low and high level descriptions of different parts and problems.
