Should I take this tutorial?
This tutorial provides an overview of the Java Message Service (JMS) and offers the basics
for developing programs that use it. JMS was developed by Sun Microsystems to provide a
way for Java programs to access an enterprise messaging system, also known as message
oriented middleware (MOM). MOM provides a mechanism for integrating applications in a
loosely coupled, flexible manner by providing asynchronous delivery of data between
applications in an indirect way through an intermediary.
Before taking this tutorial you should be familiar with Java programming and object-oriented
programming concepts.
To write the programs described in this tutorial, you need an editing environment. This can
be as basic as an operating system editor. In a development context, many people use an
integrated development environment (IDE) because it possesses debuggers and other
features designed specifically for writing and testing code.
To compile the programs, you’ll need the Java compiler (javac.exe). You will also need the
JMS classes in the package javax.jms and the Java Naming and Directory Interface
(JNDI) classes in the package javax.naming. You can download these from Sun: JMS and
JNDI…
