Broker Services

Broker configuration properties are logically divided into categories that depend on the services or broker components they affect:

• Connection services manage the physical connections between a broker and its clients that provide transport for incoming and outgoing messages. For a discussion of properties associated with connection services, see Configuring Connection Services

• Message delivery services route and deliver JMS payload messages, as well as control messages used by the message service to support reliable delivery. For a discussion of properties associated with message delivery services, including physical destinations, see Chapter 7, Managing Message Delivery

• Persistence services manage the writing and retrieval of data, such as messages and state information, to and from persistent storage. For a discussion of properties associated with persistence services, see Chapter 8, Configuring Persistence Services

• Security services authenticate users connecting to the broker and authorize their actions. For a discussion of properties associated with authentication and authorization services, as well as encryption configuration, see Chapter 9, Configuring and Managing Security Services

• Clustering services support the grouping of brokers into a cluster to achieve scalability and availability. For a discussion of properties associated with broker clusters, see Chapter 10, Configuring and Managing Broker Clusters

• Monitoring services generate metric and diagnostic information about the broker’s performance. For a discussion of properties associated with monitoring and managing a broker, see Chapter 13, Monitoring Broker Operations
