Software and Versions
This book covers Java Message Service version 1.1. It uses Java language features from the Java 6 platform. Because the focus of this book is to develop vendor-independent JMS clients and applications, I have stayed away from proprietary extensions and vendor-dependent idioms. Any JMS-compliant provider can be used with this book; you should be familiar with that provider’s specific installation, deployment, and runtime management procedures to work with the examples. To find out the details of installing and running JMS clients for a specific JMS provider, consult your JMS vendor’s documentation; these details aren’t covered by the JMS specification. We have provided the details for running the examples with ActiveMQ, a popular open source JMS provider, in Appendix D.
The source code examples and explanation in Chapter 8 refer to the Enterprise JavaBeans 3.0 (EJB 3) specification. The source code examples and explanation in Chapter 9 refer to version 2.5 of the Spring Framework
The examples developed in this book are available through the book’s catalog page at http://oreilly.com/catalog/9780596522049/examples. These examples are organized by chapter. Special source code modified for specific vendors is also provided. These vendor-specific examples include a readme.txt file that points to documentation for downloading and installing the JMS provider, as well as specific instructions for setting up the provider for each example.
