Enterprise Messaging Using JMS and IBM® WebSphere® [Paperback]

Book Description

Publication Date: March 6, 2004 | ISBN-10: 0131468634 | ISBN-13: 978-0131468634

The Server-side Java market has exploded and use of messaging as a means of integrating applications and processes is as strong, if not stronger, than ever. This book offers a customer-focused perspective on building messaging solutions based on JMS and the leading messaging provider, IBM WebSphere Application Server. The author, Kareem Yusuf, uses his real-world knowledge of JMS and open standards to teach the reader how to most effectively use JMS and IBM software to implement messaging solutions within the enterprise. Although the book is key of developers and technical architects working with IBM WebSphere, the book includes extensive generic examples and material that is not dependent on specific vendor's implementations. All code samples contained within the book will be available on the companion website.

The real-world guide to JMS messaging with IBM WebSphere technologies

This book offers start-to-finish guidance for building reliable, high-performance JMS-based messaging infrastructure with IBM WebSphere technologies.

IBM expert Kareem Yusuf systematically introduces the latest versions of JMS—both 1.1 and 1.02b. Once you've thoroughly mastered JMS development on any platform, Yusuf turns to the exceptional JMS support found in IBM's WebSphere products. Using extensive code examples, he walks you step-by-step through WebSphere JMS development, configuration, deployment, and administration in several real-world scenarios. Coverage includes:

• Roles and goals of messaging infrastructure in the enterprise
• Key JMS concepts: messaging domains, messages, and Application Server Facilities
• Defining/structuring content, choosing message types, and manipulating messages
• The JMS API, explained through detailed code examples
• Using JMS with EJB, message-driven beans, servlets, and portlets
• Working with IBM WebSphere JMS providers, administered objects, and tools
• Hands-on tutorials: EJB message exchange, integration with non-JMS applications, and SSL security
• Resource location and physical topologies for maximizing availability and efficiency

Whether you're developing enterprise messaging infrastructure, architecting it, or managing it, this book delivers indispensable guidance-straight from the frontlines.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fully supports the latest JMS versions, March 16, 2004

This review is from: Enterprise Messaging Using JMS and IBM® WebSphere® (Paperback)

Java Messaging System arises out of the need to have loosely coupled objects associated in a J2EE architecture be able to communicate asynchronously with each other. In part because these objects might be physically quite distant from each other, like an application client and a web container that are both on the Internet. The objects may have variable loads and so the buffering of messages is preferable if any object is too busy to attend to an incoming message. Plus, objects may have intermittent connectivity to the net. Especially if mobile/nomadic computing takes off.

In any of these scenarios, IBM sees a need for a web server, mediating between applications and a large database (DB2 in IBM's case). That server or container is WebSphere. The bulk of the book therefore deals with how WebSphere implements JMS. The book makes explicitly clear that IBM's implementation fully satisfies the JMS versions 1.02b and 1.1 APIs. Which means that a third party client application that can handle these versions can send and receive messages to WebSphere via JMS. You can consider this as an extra enabling inducement for independent software vendors to write code that hooks to WebSphere.

Various examples are given; the book terms these JMS scenarios. Most importantly is how to use Enterprise Java Beans to swap messages via JMS. For commercial applications, another example shows the ability to encrypt the messages.

Now hopefully, ISVs will partake of the book's offerings.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great book on JMS, October 8, 2004

This review is from: Enterprise Messaging Using JMS and IBM® WebSphere® (Paperback)

I've been working with WebSphere for over 5 years (since the beginning) and this was still worth reading. Great book full of examples, step-by-step "labs". This is focused on WebSphere and MQ, but will be very helpful to those who wants to use MQ with any other J2EE server. If you are not MQ and not WebSphere user - this still will be helpful since it has great deal of JMS basics, but you will have to use your vendor's tutorials and examples instead of those in the book. Concepts are still the same.

Dr Yusuf has done a great job in pulling together many areas of technology into a comprehensive work addressing JMS as well as the role of messaging in a WebSphere/WAS environment. I have been working with WAS as well as WebSphere MQ for a number of years and this book is a must buy for developers looking to integrate applications with JMS or exploring/developing with the messaging features of WAS. Well done!!!
