Enterprise Messaging With Spring and ActiveMQ:
Spring greatly simplifies JMS messaging by handling common scenarios for you by providing facilities for both synchronous and asynchronous messaging. This dramatically lowers the barrier to building
message-driven applications. Apache ActiveMQ is an open source JMS message broker that provides client access from many different languages and offers many advanced features necessary for enterprise
level messaging.
ActiveMQ In Action: Common Problems and Solutions
Why does ActiveMQ just stop sending messages and hang? What's the best way to build a JMS consumer and producer? What configuration should I use for connection pooling? How can I query ActiveMQ for the message I need? Should I cluster ActiveMQ or group clients across brokers? If you use ActiveMQ, chances are you have run into some questions that are easily answered with a little knowledge.
Messaging and Concurrency in Your Applications Using Spring
Most Spring-based applications utilize a design based on layering. When using the standard layered application approach, the service layer is commonly used to encapsulate reusable, business-specific
logic. Furthermore, communication between these services has taken place via synchronous method invocations. Spring also provides support for a message-driven communication and concurrent task
