Java Message Service (JMS)
The Java Message Service 2.0 Specification was developed under JSR 343. This section just gives you an overview of improvements in the API. The complete document specification (for more information) can be downloaded from http://jcp.org/aboutJava/communityprocess/final/jsr343/index.html.
When to use JMS
JMS is a Java API for interacting with Message Oriented Middleware (MOM). This type of middleware is born from the need to solve observed limits in synchronous connections. This is because synchronous connections are susceptible to network failures and require that the connected systems are available at the same time. Hence, the MOMs offer an integration system based on the exchange of messages that can be treated synchronously or asynchronously depending on the availability of the integrated systems.
The following image shows an architecture in which systems communicate through MOM:
Based on the foregoing, we conclude that JMS can be used in the following cases:
