Temporary Topics

In the chat example we explored in Chapter 2, we assumed that JMS clients would communicate with each other using established topics on which messages are asynchronously produced and consumed. In this section, we will explore ways to augment this basic mechanism by looking at temporary topics, which is a mechanism for JMS clients to create topics dynamically.

A temporary topic is a topic that is dynamically created by the JMS provider, using the createTemporaryTopic method of the TopicSession object. A temporary topic is associated with the connection that belongs to the TopicSession that created it. It is only active for the duration of the connection and it is guaranteed to be unique across all connections. Since it is temporary, it can’t be durable—it lasts only as long as its associated client connection is active. In all other respects, it is just like a “regular” topic.

Since a temporary topic is unique across all client connections (it is obtained dynamically through a method call on a client’s session object), it is unavailable to other JMS clients unless the topic identity is transferred using the JMSReplyTo header. While any client may publish messages on another client’s temporary topic, only the sessions that are associated with the JMS client connection that created the temporary topic may subscribe to it. JMS clients can also, of course, publish messages to their own temporary topics.

A temporary topic allows a consumer to respond directly to a producer. ...
