What is Messaging? Method of Communication

between software components/applications

peer-to-peer facility Not another Mail API!!!

Messaging System Concepts Allows loosely coupled applications

to communicate - contrast with RPC

Asynchronous Reliable

Messaging Systems Advantages Platform &Network Location

Independence Flexibility Scalability Anonymity Robustness Asynchronous

What is the JMS API? A common JavaTM platform API for

creating, sending, receiving and reading messages

Design Goals

-Provides most of the functionality of common messaging systems

-makes client applications portable across messaging products

- Leverages Java Technology

Common Models of Messaging

Point-to-Point Publish/Subscribe

Point-to-Point Messaging Only one consumer of Queue

Message No timing dependencies between

Sender and Receiver

Publish/Subscribe Messaging Broadcast Message to all

Subscribers

JMS Application JMS Provider JMS Clients Messages Administered Objects Non-JMS Clients

Messages

Message Components

Header Properties Body

Message Header Used for Message Identification and Routing Destination Field -includes Subject or Topic (for Pub/Sub) -queue(for point-to-point) Also include other data -delivery mode -message ID -timestamp -priority -ReplyTo

Message Properties Application-specific properties Messaging system provider-

specific properties Optional fields Properties are Name/Value pairs Values can be int, string, byte etc

Message Body Holds content of message Five Types supported Each type defined by a message interface -StreamMessage -MapMessage -BytesMessage -TextMessage -ObjectMessage

Message Body Interfaces StreamMessage -contains Java primitive values -Read sequentially MapMessage -Holds name/value pairs -Read sequentially or by name BytesMessage -uninterpreted bytes -used to match an existing message

format

Message Body Interfaces TextMessage -contains java.util.StringBuffer -useful for XML messages ObjectMessage -contains arbitrary java object -must be serializable

Example:Creating a Text Message To create a simple TextMessage:

TextMessage message = session .

createTextMessage( ); message . setText ( “greetings”);

Building a JMS Client Steps 1) Create a Connection to the

provider 2) Create Sessions to

send/receive messages 3) Create MessageProducers 4) Create MessageConsumers

1. Creating a Connection Connection provides access to

messaging system Performs resource allocation and

management ConnectionFactory used to create

Connection ConnectionFactory is located

through JNDI

Get the Connection Factory

Context messaging = new InitialContext ( ) ; TopicConnectionFactory factory = (TopicConnectionFactory) messaging . lookup

( “TopicConnectionFactory” ) ;

JNDI is used to get a ConnectionFactory 2 Types ConnectionFactory - QueueConnectionFactory for P-to-P

- TopicConnectionFactory for Pub/Sub

Create the Connection

TopicConnection topicConnection = factory . createTopicConnection

( ) ;

QueueConnection or TopicConnection

2. Create Sessions

TopicSession session = topicConnection . createTopicSession (false, CLIENT_ACKNOWLEDGE);

First parameter controls transactions Second parameter specifies message

acknowledgement

Locate a Topic

Topic weatherTopic = messaging . Lookup

( “WeatherData” ) ;

JNDI is used to locate the topic Queue or Topic

Start the Connection

topicConnection . start ( ) ;

During initialization, message flow is inhibited; Connection must now be started before messages will be transmitted

3. Create Message Producer

TopicPublisher publisher = session . createPublisher

(weatherTopic) ;

Publisher will publish messages to weathetData topic

Publish a Message

TextMessage message = session . createMessage ( ) ; message . setText ( “text : 35

degrees” ) ; publisher . Publish (message) ;

Specifying Quality of Service

Publish (Message message, int deliveryMode,

int priority, long timeToLive) ; Delivery Modes - NON-PERSISTENT - PERSISTENT Priority Time-to-Live

4. Message Consumer Subscribing to topics - Durable Subscriptions - Non-durable Subsriptions Receiving Messages - Asynchronous - Synchronous

Asynchronous Message Receipt

Uses Listening Mechanism setMessageListener (MessageListener listener)

Listener object must implement onMessage ( ) of MessageListener

interface

Synchronous Message Receipt

Message receive ( ) ; Message receive (long timeout) ; Message receiveNoWait ( ) ;

Point-to-Point Programming

Queue Browsing - session . createBrowser (Queue

queue); - session . createBrowser

(QueueSession session, Queue queue, String messageSelector) ;

JMS Programming Techniques and Issues

1. Transactions - commit( ) ; - rollback( ) ; with respect to producer with respect to consumer2. Programmatic Message

Acknowledgement acknowledge ( );

JMS Programming Techniques and Issues3. Message Routing - Routing via Hierarchical Topics bid_request bid_request.vehicles bid_request.vehicles.bicycle - Routing via Message Selection Property_MerchType = ‘Mountain Bike’

AND Property_ReqOvernight is NULL Selecting a Routing Approach

Using JMS to Transport XML

StringBuffer body = new StringBuffer ( ) ;body.append (“?xml version=\”1.0\ “?>\n”) ;body.append (“<message>\n”);body.append

(“<sender>”+username+“</sender>\n”) ;body.append (“<content>”+s+ “</content>\

n”) ;body.append (“</message>\n”) ;msg.setText (body.toString( )) ;publisher . Publish (msg) ;

Consuming XML Messages Work with XML payload as a text

stream Work with the XML payload

through the DOM Use SAX to process the XML in an

event-based manner

Performing XML-based Routing - Use Message Properties

Request-Reply Programming - Replies are sent as full JMS message typically following some processing

in the called ‘client’

JMS Implementations Standalone messaging servers

JMS services embedded within other environments such as an application server

JMS and XML as an Integration Platform

Integration Types - Data Integration - Procedural or Process Integration Messaging simplifies Application

Integration - can’t use Objects - XML proves to be an optimal

format
