Speaker Topics - No Fluff Just Stuff
NFJS2025

Advanced Topics in JMS

This session covers some of the more advanced features of JMS messaging, and is intended for those who are familiar with JMS and messaging in general. Some of the topics I will be covering in this session include message grouping (where I will demonstrate sending a large JPG image using messaging), transacted sessions, client-based acknowledgement, and some various messaging design considerations and things to watch out for from a design and coding perspective. I will be doing live coding demonstrations to illustrate the techniques described in this session. Although this session is entirely JMS provider agnostic, I will be using ActiveMQ, a popular open source JMS provider, during the live coding demonstrations.

Agenda

  • Details behind the acknowledgement modes
  • Message grouping / sending images and documents
  • Transacted sessions
  • JMS Design Considerations
  • Common Messaging Pitfalls
