22.1.1 Two Notification Messaging Services

You can configure Messaging Server to deliver notifications to two different messaging services:

• Sun Java System Message Queue 3.6 2005Q4

• Event Notification Service

The Message Queue service implements the Java Messaging Service (JMS) specification, providing a message broker, interfaces to create clients that produce or consume messages, and administrative services and control. Message Queue follows the JMS standard for routing and delivery functions, protocols, and message formats.

The Event Notification Service is a component bundled with Messaging Server and Sun Java System Calendar Server. It is a proprietary service that uses a publish/subscribe architecture for sending and receiving event notifications.

You can configure a notification producer for Message Queue, for the Event Notification Service, or for both services.

This chapter describes how to configure notifications for Message Queue only.

For information about the Event Notification Service, see the Sun Java System Communications Suite Event Notification Service Guide.
