4.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to JMS, September 1, 2002

By 

Ayad Boudiab (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Java Message Service (JMS) for J2EE (Paperback)

"JMS is a Java Application Programming Interface (API), which allows software applications, components, and objects to create, send, receive, and read messages". The author starts with an introduction to J2EE, and explains where JMS fit in this technology. Then he gives an introduction to message service, and finally the Java message service. The first three chapters introduce J2EE. EJB(the heart of Java Enterprise technology), session beans, entity beans, and how to reach a session bean and an entity bean as a web client are also discussed. The second section of the book (chapters 4, 5, 6) gives an introduction to message service, MOM, TPM, RPC, ORB.. And finally chapters 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 discuss Java Message Service. Every section of the book is accompanied by examples and applications.
This book targets Java application developers. Although programming experience is assumed, the first 3 intro chapters will give you the details you need.

5.0 out of 5 stars It is very helpful and great book for JMS beginners, November 20, 2002

By 

"david_atlanta" (Tampa, Florida) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Java Message Service (JMS) for J2EE (Paperback)

This is a great JMS introduction book. It is an excellent resource if you know Java 2 Standard Edition, and if you want to learn Java Message Service API, one of the key technologies of J2EE.
I worked on many software projects, and I used Java language and some Java technologies such as Java Applets on my projects. I needed to learn Java 2 Enterprise Edition and new J2EE APIs. This book introduced me not only to JMS but also J2EE. It provides brief information about J2EE and its key elements, session beans and entity beans, with detailed and well-designed examples. Having experience on these beans helps you understand message-driven beans, the key element of the JMS on J2EE applications.
The book even contains information on where to download necessary software, how to install them, and how to use them properly on your projects.
The book gives detailed information for JMS API with lots of examples. Another good feature of the book is that it provides information about JMS vendors in the market. The book compares them and helps you find the right package for your projects. This book does not focus on only Message-oriented issues. It covers almost everything on JMS-related issues from vendors to necessary software, from J2EE to history of message-oriented systems, from message-driven beans to web applications, and from XML to JMS reliability.
Chapters 4, 6, 9 and 11 are particularly useful for JMS beginners like me, even if you do not have enough experience on J2EE.

Thanks for the book. It is well worth the money and very helpful for my projects.

This book is about understanding,
Message-oriented middleware(MOM),on which JMS is based.
As EJBs have very important role in JMS application, they have been covered with EJB examples.
Program JMS applications and increase their reliability.
Combine the strengths of XML and JMS using JAXP.
Use JMS with web client
Develop applications using he JMS API.
In this part of book language is so easy to understand. Block diagram,picture and web site for reference has been given whereever required for detail explanation.Later on they are started with basic to comlicated level of examples.And all possible code has been given.And all the code from this book is available on website in .zip format.
Using this book you will learn,Get a handle on EJB, JNDI, Middleware architecture and Java Message Service.And many more like require tool for XML,J2SE and J2EE Settings,
development and deployment tool and web server for J2EE application.
I recommend this book because of the detailed, up-to-date coverage of JMS and the depth of technology covered.
