Learning about the default messaging provider

Use these topics to learn about using the default messaging provider to support the use of the Java Message Service (JMS) by enterprise applications deployed on WebSphere Application Server.

About this task

The default messaging provider is installed and runs as part of WebSphere Application Server.

The default messaging provider supports JMS 1.1 domain-independent interfaces (sometimes referred to as "unified" or "common" interfaces). This enables applications to use the same, common, interfaces for both point-to-point and publish/subscribe messaging. This also enables both point-to-point and publish/subscribe messaging within the same transaction. With JMS 1.1, this approach is recommended for new applications. The domain-specific interfaces are supported for backwards compatibility as described in section 1.5 of the JMS 1.1 specification.

The default messaging provider is based on service integration technologies. You can use the WebSphere Application Server administrative console to configure JMS resources:
  • A JMS connection factory to connect to a service integration bus
  • A JMS queue or topic assigned to a bus destination on the bus. Such JMS queues and topics are available, over a long period of time, to all applications with access to the bus destination.
