As software becomes more complex, and the Web is leveraged further, the need for messaging software continues to grow. Virtually all software written today requires at least one form of internal, and even external, communication. Java Messaging explores the various methods of intra-process and inter-process messaging for Java software, such as JavaBean events, JMS, JAX-RPC, JAXM, SOAP, and Web Services. Programmers will learn the basics of these APIs, as well as how, when, and why to use each one, including how to use them in combination, such as combining SOAP with JMS over a WAN. The book begins by walking the reader through simple intra-process communication using JavaBean events. A set of classes is constructed that extend JavaBean events beyond one JVM, transparently using JMS. The messaging paradigms of JMS are explained thoroughly, including in-depth discussions on the theory and mechanics of message queues. Design patterns and helper classes are also explored, which ultimately combine to form a generic messaging framework that helps programmers avoid common pitfalls. This framework, explained throughout the book, provides for the seamless integration of JMS with SOAP Web Services that is required to build distributed applications. Starting from the first chapter, a comprehensive sample application (an online stock trading system) is built using the framework and messaging paradigms discussed in the book. By the end of the book, programmers will not only understand the various messaging paradigms, but they will also understand how to architect complex distributed applications that use them together - with a framework that provides a running start. | | | Product Details: | | | Author:

 Concise, no-nonsense, but framework hinders learningAug 21, 2006
By Shaun W. Taylor
Excellent introduction to messaging, including healthy portions on JMS and web services.
The writing style is clear, consistent, and to the point. Probably what I liked most was this no-nonsense writing style. If it's on a page, it's important to understand. The author doesn't waste your time with irrelevant discussions or out of scope topics.
Editing and code presentation are top notch, making it easy to follow, and build upon from one example to the next. The author also shares some gotchas and considerations that I wouldn't have expected to see in an introductory discussion which were particularly valuable.
Another great feature is one of the drawbacks of the book. The framework presented in the book is elegant, but in many of the examples, there is too much cognitive overhead involved in grokking the level of abstraction in the framework, and this takes away from actually learning the concepts. I would have liked to see more non-framework code for the introduction, which is then tied together with the framework.

 Very Good on Messaging Concepts and ImplementationJan 06, 2006
By John Matlock
"Gunny"
As we look at how much we use the web, it is sometimes hard to remember just how new this concept of worldwide packet switching really is. Java was started as a new language before a lot of the new concepts like XML and SOAP were conceived. But as a new language it has been able to move into using these new concepts faster than nearly any other language.
What I especially liked about this book was the first chapter. So often computer books start with programming. This one starts with a description of what we're trying to do here. He gives several examples of the types of communications that he is going to cover in the book. I had a particular application in mind when I got the book, but in reading the first chapter I began to see several other ways that messaging would help our system.
After the first chapter, I've go to say that it's a pretty regular computer software book. It tells you how to do the things that you want to do. It is quite clear on all the different software protocols, packages, and philosophies. Basically it is all that a Java programmer needs to implement messaging in Java.
The CD included with the book gives you all the sample code from the book, as well as the complete messaging toolkit and several open source tools.

Outstanding book on the subject of messagingMar 17, 2011
By Front to Back
I agree with the other reviewers, this is an wholly excellent book. It is the attention to detail and thoroughness that makes this book outstanding. All key concepts are presented in a clear and well written style accompanied with diagrams and full code. There is also full section on setting up the environments for deploying your applications. Java Messaging may not be the most complex technology out there, but it is vital to reliable SOA, and if you want to see how easy it is to pick up a new technology, then buy this book.
If only many other technical books on the market were as well written and presented as this book.

For programmers: messaging basicsMar 17, 2006
By D. Donovan, Editor/Sr. Reviewer
"California Bookwatch"
Eric Bruno's JAVA MESSAGING explores different ways of messaging using Java software, from JavaBean events and JMS to SOAP. Web programmers receive all the basics to using these features, tips on how and why to use each feature and when to choose something else, how to combine features, and more. The basics of Java communication processes are revealed in chapters which form 'classes' to link related information in a logical progression. An excellent, basic foundation for Java users.
