Using JMS, an application’s messaging clients are portable across messaging server products.
The creation of JMS was an industry effort. Sun Microsystems took the lead on the spec and worked very closely with the messaging vendors throughout the process. The initial objective was to provide a Java API for connectivity to enterprise messaging systems. However, this changed to the wider objective of supporting messaging as a first-class Java-distributed computing paradigm equal with RPC-based systems such as CORBA and Enterprise JavaBeans. Mark Hapner, the JMS spec lead at Sun Microsystems, explained:
There were a number of MOM vendors that participated in the creation of JMS. It was an industry effort rather than a Sun effort. Sun was the spec lead and did shepherd the work but it would not have been successful without the direct involvement of the messaging vendors. Although our original objective was to provide a Java API for connectivity to MOM systems, this changed over the course of the work to a broader objective of supporting messaging as a first class Java distributed ...
