I got a question about usage of JMS(Java Message Queue). Somewhere in documentation I have seen that everything I need to use JMS is jms.jar on the machine where the client is going to run. But I still not sure if I need glassfish or JBoss also installed on machine.. Anyone can me tell if it’s really only jms.jar is needed or I need something more installed on machine?

Thanks,
Serhiy.

    You need jms.jar to access JMS topics and queues. But in order to have a working JMS setup you need a JMS provider. Applications servers have JMS providers bundled. There are stand-alone JMS providers, like Apache ActiveMQ or HornetQ:

    • you need the jms provider jar(s) on your classpath, so that its concrete classes get instantiated (The JMS API only defines the contract)
    • you need the jms provider running and handling incoming and outgoing messages.
