Sun ONE Message Queue

The Solaris operating environment now supports Java Messaging Service (JMS) applications. This Solaris release uses Sun ONE Message Queue (formerly iPlanet^TM Message Queue for Java) as a JMS provider.

The Sun ONE Message Queue is a new feature for the SPARC platform in the Solaris 9 12/02 Update release. In the Solaris 9 8/03 Update release, the Sun ONE Message Queue is also available for x86 platforms.

JMS messaging enables applications and application components to exchange messages asynchronously and reliably. Processes that run on different platforms and different operating systems can connect to a common message service to exchange information.

In this Solaris release, Sun ONE Message Queue, Platform Edition provides a full implementation of the JMS specification. The message queue provides additional features such as the following:

• Centralized administration

• Tunable performance

• Support for the Java Naming and Directory Interface^TM (JNDI)

• Support for Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) messaging
