Java Message Service (JMS) is a standard Java EE messaging API that allows loosely coupled, asynchronous communication between Java EE components.
NetBeans includes good support to aid us in creating applications that take advantage of the JMS API, generating most of the JMS-specific code and allowing us to focus on the business logic of our application.
We will cover the following topics in this chapter:
Introduction to JMS
Creating JMS resources from NetBeans
Implementing a JMS message producer
Consuming JMS messages with message-driven beans
