About the Siebel EAI JMS Transport

The JMS Transport is an API for accessing enterprise messaging systems. It supports the ability to send and receive messages by way of JMS servers. JMS defines two messaging models: point-to-point (by way of JMS queues) and publish-and-subscribe (by way of JMS topics). Both are supported by Siebel's JMS Transport.

JMS queues and topics are identified by their JNDI names. A JNDI naming service is required in order to use the JMS Transport. It should contain entries for the desired queues and topics.

The API of JMS Transport is very similar to other Siebel messaging APIs such as the MQ Transport and MSMQ Transport.

The JMS Transport is built using the Java Business Service and therefore inherits all the requirements of that business service. This includes the independent installation of a Java virtual machine (JVM) and the configuration of the Siebel application to identify and create the VM.
