1. Java Messaging Service

2. An Abstraction for using Messaging Oriented Middleware Purpose is to provide a sophisticated, yet straightforward way to exchange messages between applications. A message is any data or event that applications need to share.

3. Synchronous Sender and Receiver “know” each other A method is invoked Examples –CORBA –RMI –DCOM

4. Proper distribution of messages Fault Tolerance Load balancing Scalability Transaction Support Asynchronous Delivery De-coupling of the Sender and Receiver

5. Headers –Automatically Assigned –Developer Assigned Properties –Application Specific –JMS Specific –Provider (Vendor) specific Payload –Data –Event

6. Used by the JMS clients to filter messages Boolean logic applied to –Header values –Property values –Based on a subset of the SQL-92 syntax of the WHERE clause

7. Message –Contains only headers and properties –Useful for Event notification TextMessage –Java String is the payload –Useful for XML data ObjectMessage –Serializable Java Obect as payload

8. BytesMessage –Useful for exchanging data in the application’s native format –Useful when just providing transport StreamMessage –Payload is made up of Java primitive types (int, double, long, char, etc) MapMessage –Payload is name-value pair –The name must be String –The value can be a String or primitive

9. AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE –Ack is provided by the Provider DUPS_OK_ACKNOWLEDGE –Ack is provided by the Provider CLIENT_ACKNOWLEDGE –Client explicitly acks each message

10. Provides a Java API to access proprietary and heterogeneous naming services. System Admin is responsible for creating, configuring and binding the Administered Objects of the Provider –Destinations: Topics and Queues –ConnectionFactory: Used by the Client to create connections to the Message Server.

11. Publish/Subscribe –Producer may send to multiple Consumers –Accomplished through a virtual channel called a Topic –Push model –Asynchronously or Synchronously Point to Point –Producer sends to one Consumer –Accomplished through a virtual channel called a Queue –Pull Model –Synchronously or Asynchronously

12. import javax.jms.*; private TopicConnection connection = null; private TopicSession pubSession = null; private TopicSession subSession = null; private TopicPublisher publisher = null; private TopicSubscriber subscriber = null; private recvWeatherTopic = null; public class FlightData implements MessageListener { public FlightData() { //Set up JNDI properties, etc.. TopicConnectionFactory factory = (TopicConnectionFactory) jndi.lookup(“TopicConnectionFactory”); connection = factory.createTopicConnection(); pubSession = connection.createTopicSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);

13. subSession = connection.createTopicSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE); weatherTopic = (Topic) jndi.lookup(“FlightDataTopic”); publisher = pubSession.createPublisher(weatherTopic); recvWeatherTopic = subSession.createTemporaryTopic(); subscriber = subSession.createSubscriber(recvWeatherTopic); subscriber.setMessengerListener(this); subscriber.setMessengerListener(this); connection.start();

14. } catch (JMSException jmsEx) { jmsEx.printstackTrace(); } catch (NamingException nameEx) { nameEx.printStackTrace(); }

15. private publishFightData(String wind, String planeType, String altitude, String turbulence) { try { long time = System.curentTimeMillis(); StringBuffer xmlMsg = new StringBuffer(“ ”); xmlMsg.append(“ +planeType+ ”); xmlMsg.append(“ +wind+ ”); xmlMsg.append(“ + altitude + ”); xmlMsg.append(“ + turbulence + ”); xmlMsg.append(“ ”); TextMessage message = pubSession.createTextMessage();

16. message.setText(xmlMsg.toString()); //Alternate to setting time in the XML Message message.setStringProperty(“Time”, “”+time); //For those Subscribers that want to *provide* data message.setJMSReplyTo(recvWeatherTopic); publisher.publish(message, DeliveryMode.PERSISTENT, DEFAULT_PRIORITY, 180000); } catch (JMSException jmsEx) { //Do right thing }

17. public void onMessage(Message message) { try { TextMessage tMessage = (TextMessage) message; if (tMessage.getStringProperty(“MessageSrc”).equals(“Pilot”)) { String textFromMsg = tMessage.getText(); //Extract all pertinent Data in XML message ……. publishFightData(wind, planeType, altitude, turbulence) } else { logMsg(“FSS: “+ tMessage.getText()+” has received the “+ “latest Weather info”); } } catch (Exception ex) { //Do right thing }

18. Durable Subscriptions –connection.setClientID(“DurableFSS”) –subscriber = session.createDurableSubscriber(recvWeatherTopic, “FSS Subscription”); Temporary Topics –Dynamic –Associated to the Connection of the Session that created it. –Active for the life of the Connection. –Guaranteed to be unique across all connections Can’t Be Used Together –Remember, Temporary Topics only good through Connection life.

19. Synchronous Messaging –Use receive() method on the Session Object receive() – waits indefinitely receive(long timeout) – will wait that for a specific period receiveNoWait() – will return message if it is there, null otherwise –Create a TopicRequestor Requestor = new TopicRequestor(session, tempTopic); Message message = requestor.request(myMessage);

20. The implementation differences for the previous example: –Need to lookup a Queue QueueConnectionFactory qFactory = (QueueConnectionFactory) jndi.lookup(“QueueConnectionFactory”); –Create a separate Connection qConnection = qFactory.createQueueConnection(); –Create a Sender/Receiver for the Queue from the Session qSender = qSession.createSender(recvWeatherQueue); –Call send() qSender.send(messge, DelieveryMode.PERSISTENT, Message.DEFAULT_PRIORITY, 180000);

21. Intended for one-to-one message exchange The message exchange really matters to the producer and consumer. The message must only be processed once. Load balancing of processing is important. –Take Advantage of the QueueBrowser

22. Used by the System Administrator Used by an application to find “best” message. –Views the queue, finds the message it wants, consumes the messages synchronously to get to the one it wants, and then processes the desired message.

23. Store and Forward –Messages marked as persistent –Durable Subscribers Autonomous –Self contained entities Acknowledgments –Discussed earlier, gives applications/components flexibility

24. Transactions –Local, set the boolean true when creating the Session –Global, 2-Phase Commit Vendors that implement the JTA XA APIs Network Failures –Server must attempt to reconnect –Client should implement ExceptionListener interface –Client is responsible for re-establishing the connection Dead Message Queue

25. As of J2EE 1.3, The JMS API became integral to the environment –Included a new enterprise bean, the mesage- driven bean allowing asynchronous message consumption –Applications can have messages participate in the Java Transaction API. (Distributed Transactions) –Within the container architecture messages may be consumed concurrently –The Connector Architecture allows messages to be a part of the heterogeneous transaction context that includes Databases and EISs

26. In 1.4 release of J2EE will upgrade to the JMS 1.1 version, –The API is not specific to the pub/sub or point-to-point model. –The JMS provider can be integrated using a Resource Adapter from the Connector Architecture

27. Consider the obvious: –Concurrent Users –Peak Load time –Hardware available Size of message payload –Very important Look at the benefits of the models that best fit the environment choose vendor best suited

28. Look at Send Rate vs. Receive Rate –When Send Rate far exceeds Receive Rate Look at reliability during peak usuage Look at reliability during extended usage
