JMS始终在JavaEE五花八门的协议里,WebService满天飞的时候占一位置,是因为:
   它可以把不影响用户执行结果又比较耗时的任务(比如发邮件通知管理员)异步的扔给JMS 服务端去做,而尽快的把屏幕返还给用户。服务端能够多线程排队响应高并发的请求。可以在Java世界里达到最高的解耦。客户端与服务端无需直连,甚至无需知晓对方是谁、在哪里、有多少人,只要对流过的信息作响应就行了,在企业应用环境复杂时作用明显。
 
JMS(Java Message Service)即 java消息服务 用于分布式系统得消息通信,JMS是J2EE技术中的一个部分,Sun公司定义了JMS的标准接口,即javax.jms.*。JMS服务使得分布式系统的信息通信松散连接的,发送信息的客户端只需要负责发送信息,接收信息的客户端接收信息,两个客户端之间没有必要是同时可用的,甚至发送客户端都没有必要知道客户端的信息,只要负责发送到接收的服务端就可以,JMS可以说是低耦合的。同时JMS API 做到了以下2点:
异步的,服务端可以发送信息到一个客户端,客户端不需要为了收到信息而请求信息。
可靠的,JMS API保证了服务端所有发送的信息最少发送一次和只发送一次,下面介绍一些JMS API 的基本知识
JMS API 基本组成
        JMS provider服务者,是一个消息系统通过实现JMS API 接口,用于管理和控制信息。l
     l   JMS client   客户端  用于发送和接收信息,通常是用在java程序中用java编写的
        Messagesl 用于在客户端信息通信的对象
        Administered Objects 由JMSl provider为了client创建的对象,通常是connectionFactory和destination
Messages 通信方式
JMS通信方式分为点对点通信,和发布/订阅方式
点对点方式(point-to-point)
点对点的消息发送方式主要建立在 Message Queue,Sender,reciever上,Message Queue 存贮消息,Sneder 发送消息,receive接收消息,具体的信息就是 Sender Client发送Message 到Queue ,而 receiver Cliernt 从Queue中接收消息和发送消息已接受到Quere,确认消息接收。在使用点对点方式时需要注意,一条消息只有一个接收端,消息发送客户端与接收客户端没有时间上的依赖,发送客户端可以在任何时刻发送信息到Queue,而不需要知道接收客户端是不是在运行
发布/订阅 方式(publish/subscriber Messaging)
发布/订阅方式用于多接收客户端的方式
作为发布订阅的方式,可能存在多个接收客户端,并且接收端客户端与发送客户端存在时间上的依赖。一个接收端只能接收他创建以后发送客户端发送的信息。
作为subscriber ,在接收消息时有两种方法,destination的receive方法,和实现message listener 接口的onMessage 方法。
基础知识这里说的很少,具体的可以参照java.sun.com.的JMS API 指南
ActiveMQ的特性:
完全支持JMS1.1和J2EE 1.4规范的 JMS Provider实现,也是Apache Geronimo默认的JMS provider。
POJO withdout EJB Container,不需要实现EJB繁琐复杂的Message Bean接口和配置。
Spring Base,可以使用Spring的各种特性如IOC、AOP 。
Effective,基于Jencks的JCA Container实现 pool connection,control transactions and manage security。 
下面是它的特性列表 
    1.多种语言和协议编写客户端
     语言: Java, C, C++, C#, Ruby, Perl, Python, PHP 
     应用协议: OpenWire,Stomp REST,WS Notification,XMPP,AMQP
    2.完全支持JMS1.1和J2EE 1.4规范  (持久化,XA消息,事务)
    3.对Spring的支持,ActiveMQ可以很容得内嵌到使用Spring的系统里面去,而且也支持Spring2.0的特性
   4.通过了常见J2EE服务器(如 Geronimo,JBoss 4, GlassFish,WebLogic)的测试,其中通过JCA 1.5 resource adaptors的配置,
    可以让ActiveMQ可以自动的部署到任何兼容J2EE 1.4 商业服务器上
    5.支持多种传送协议:in-VM,TCP,SSL,NIO,UDP,JGroups,JXTA
    6.支持通过JDBC和journal提供高速的消息持久化
    7.从设计上保证了高性能的集群,客户端-服务器,点对点
    8.支持Ajax
    9.支持与Axis的整合
    10.可以很容易得调用内嵌JMS provider,进行测试
 
作为一个JMS client 都需要以下的组成
Administered Objects:ConnectionFactory,Destination
Connection;
Session
Message Producers/Message Cosumers
Messages
