Use asynchronous messaging

These topics describe how enterprise applications can use asynchronous messaging as a method of communication based on the Java Message Service (JMS). With the support provided by WebSphere Application Server, applications can make use of JMS resources and message-driven beans.

Overview

WebSphere Application Server support for JMS is provided by one or more JMS providers, and associated services and resources, that you configure for use by enterprise applications. You can deploy EJB 2.1 applications that use the JMS 1.1 interfaces and EJB 2.0 applications that use the JMS 1.0.2 interfaces.

You can use the WebSphere administrative console to administer the WebSphere Application Server support for asynchronous messaging. For example, you can configure messaging providers and their resources, and can control the activity of messaging services.
