This physical destination is identified and encapsulated by an JMS-administered object that a JMS client uses to specify the destination of incoming and outgoing messages.
(Java Message Service messages) (n.) Asynchronous requests, reports, or events that are consumed by Java Message Service clients. A message has a header (to which additional fields can be added) and a body. The message header specifies standard fields and optional properties.

(Java Message Service service) (n.) Software that provides delivery services for a Java Message Service messaging system, including connections to JMS clients, message routing and delivery, persistence, security, and logging. The message service maintains physical destinations to which JMS clients send messages and from which the messages are delivered to consuming clients.
