Activating
Java Message Services!
The
Java Message Service 1.0.2 API has become the standard for MOM
products large and small and its implementation ranges from
expensive commercial products to freeware and even open source
projects. As its name
suggests, however, it only provides a standard Java API. This means that:
-
There are no widely accepted standardized, non-Java, non-proprietary messaging APIs.
-
Support for non-Java access to many JMS systems is very limited.
These
two facts often present a problem for an organization, as they
often need to have non-Java clients participate in a JMS network. Until
now these organizations had few choices—they could use the JMS
vendor’s proprietary ActiveX client (if the vendor offered one),
or they could use a general purpose 3rd party Java-ActiveX
integration tool. Neither
of these solutions is ideal, however, because they are contrary to
the ‘open’ nature of the JMS specification itself.
You get tied down to a particular vender once again!
The
Active JMS open source project was created to solve this problem
by offering a freely available, non-proprietary, open source
ActiveX JMS client API. With it, you can access a large majority of the JMS
functionality without compromise.
