In this section we discuss the basics needed to use the JBoss JMS implementation. JMS leaves the details of accessing JMS connection factories and destinations as provider specific details. What you need to know to use the JBoss Messaging layer is:
The location of the queue and topic connect factories: In JBoss both connection factory implementations are located under the JNDI name ConnectionFactory.
How to lookup JMS destinations (queues and topics): Destinations are configured via MBeans as we will see when we discuss the messaging MBeans. JBoss comes with a few queues and topics preconfigured. You can find them under the jboss.messaging.destination domain in the JMX Console.
Which JARS JMS requires: These include concurrent.jar, jbossall-client.jar, jboss-messaging-client.jar, jboss-common-client.jar, jboss-system-client.jar, jnp-client.jar and log4j.jar.
In the following sections we will look at examples of the various JMS messaging models and message driven beans. The chapter example source is located under the src/main/org/jboss/chap6 directory of the book examples.
