–  Last maintenance release (1.1) was in 2003
•  Does not mean JMS is moribund!
–  Multiple active commercial and open source implementations
–  Shows strength of existing spec
•  Meanwhile
–  Java EE has moved on since, and now Java EE 7 is planned
–  Time for JMS 2.0

JMS 2.0

•  March 2011: JSR 343 launched to
develop JMS 2.0
•  Target: to be part of Java EE 7 in Q2
2013
•  Early Draft released
•  Community involvement invited
–  Visit jms-spec.java.net
and get involved
–  Join the mailing list
–  Submit suggestions to the issue tracker


JSR 343 Expert Group

...

Initial goals of JMS 2.0

•  Simpler and easier to use •  Standardise interface with
–  simplify the API application servers
–  make use of CDI (Contexts and •  Clarify relationship with other
Dependency Injection) Java EE specs
–  clarify any ambiguities in the spec –  some JMS behaviour defined in
•  Support new themes of Java EE 7 other specs
–  PaaS •  New messaging features
–  Multi-tenancy –  standardize some existing vendor
extensions (or will retrospective
standardisation be difficult?)

What's in the Early Draft
•  Here are some items in the JMS 2.0 Early Draft
–  Based on Expert Group members' priorities
–  All items in JIRA at jms-spec.java.net
•  Things are still changing
•  It's not too late
–  to give us your views on these items
–  to propose additional items for a later draft or revision


Simplifying the JMS API


What's wrong with the JMS API?
Not a lot...


Receiving messages in Java EE

@MessageDriven(mappedName = "jms/inboundQueue")
public class MyMDB implements MessageListener {

public void onMessage(Message message) {
String payload = (TextMessage)textMessage.getText();
// do something with payload
}

}


Sending messages in Java EE

@Resource(lookup = "jms/connFactory")
ConnectionFactory cf;
@Resource(lookup="jms/inboundQueue")
Destination dest;

public void sendMessage (String payload) throws JMSException {
Connection conn = cf.createConnection();
Session sess =
conn.createSession(false,Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
MessageProducer producer = sess.createProducer(dest);
TextMessage textMessage = sess.createTextMessage(payload);
messageProducer.send(textMessage);
connection.close();
}


@Resource(lookup = "jms/connFactory") Need to create
ConnectionFactory cf; intermediate objects
@Resource(lookup="jms/inboundQueue") just to satisfy the API
Destination dest;

Session sess =
connection.close();
}


ConnectionFactory cf; Redundant
@Resource(lookup="jms/inboundQueue") arguments
Destination dest;

Session sess =
connection.close();
}



ConnectionFactory cf;
Destination dest; Boilerplate code
Session sess =
connection.close();
}


try {
Connection conn = null;
con = cf.createConnection();
Session sess =
TextMessage textMessage=sess.createTextMessage(payload);
} finally {
connection.close();
}
}
Need to close
connections
after use


public void sendMessage (String payload) {
Connection conn = null;
try {
con = cf.createConnection();
Session sess =
TextMessage textMessage=sess.createTextMessage(payload);
} catch (JMSException e1) {
// do something
} finally {
try {
if (conn!=null) connection.close();
} catch (JMSException e2){
// do something else
} And there's
} always exception
} handling to add


Approaches to simplification

•  Simplify the existing API
•  Define new simplified API
•  Use CDI annotations to hide the boilerplate code


Simplify the existing API

•  Need to maintain backwards compatibility limits scope for change
–  New methods on javax.jms.Connection:
•  Keep existing method
connection.createSession(transacted,deliveryMode)

•  New method for Java SE

connection.createSession(sessionMode)

•  New method for Java EE

connection.createSession()
–  Make javax.jms.Connection implement java.lang.AutoCloseable


Sending a Message (Java EE)
Standard API
@Resource(lookup = "jms/connectionFactory ")
ConnectionFactory connectionFactory;

Queue inboundQueue;

public void sendMessageOld (String payload) throws JMSException {
try (Connection connection = connectionFactory.createConnection()) {
Session session = connection.createSession();
MessageProducer messageProducer = session.createProducer(inboundQueue);
TextMessage textMessage = session.createTextMessage(payload);
}
}


New Simplified API
@Resource(mappedName="jms/contextFactory")
ContextFactory contextFactory;

@Resource(mappedName="jms/inboundQueue")
Queue inboundQueue;

public void sendMessage(String payload) {
try (JMSContext context = contextFactory.createContext();){
context.send(inboundQueue,payload);
}
}


New Simplified API (With Injection)
@Inject
@JMSConnectionFactory("jms/contextFactory")
JMSContext context;

@Resource(mappedName="jms/inboundQueue")
Queue inboundQueue;

public void sendMessage(String payload) {
context.send(inboundQueue,payload);
}


Receiving a Message Asynchronously
Standard API
@Resource(lookup = "jms/connectionFactory")

Queue inboundQueue;

public String receiveMessageOld() throws JMSException {
try (Connection connection = connectionFactory.createConnection()) {
connection.start();
Session session = connection.createSession();
MessageConsumer messageConsumer = session.createConsumer(inboundQueue);
TextMessage textMessage = (TextMessage)messageConsumer.receive();
String payload = textMessage.getText();
return payload;
}
}


New Simplified API
@Resource(lookup = "jms/connectionFactory")

Queue inboundQueue;

public String receiveMessageNew() {
try (JMSContext context = connectionFactory.createContext()) {
JMSConsumer consumer = context.createConsumer(inboundQueue);
return consumer.receivePayload(String.class);
}
}


New Simplified API (With Injection)
@Inject
@JMSConnectionFactory("jms/connectionFactory")
private JMSContext context;

Queue inboundQueue;

public String receiveMessageNew() {
JMSConsumer consumer = context.createConsumer(inboundQueue);
return consumer.receivePayload(String.class);
}


Some other simplifications


Making durable subscriptions easier to use

•  Durable subscriptions are identified by
{clientId, subscriptionName}
•  ClientId will no longer be mandatory when using
durable subscriptions
•  For a MDB, container will generate default subscription
name (EJB 3.2)


New features for PaaS


Annotations to create resources in Java EE

•  Currently no standard way for an application to define
what JMS resources should be created in the application
server and registered in JNDI
•  No equivalent to DataSourceDefinition:
@DataSourceDefinition(name="java:global/MyApp/MyDataSource",
className="com.foobar.MyDataSource",
portNumber=6689,
serverName="myserver.com",
user="lance",
password="secret" )


Annotations to create resources in Java EE

•  JSR 342 (Java EE 7) will define new annotations
•  Possible new SPI to create the physical destinations
@JMSConnectionFactoryDefinition(
name="java:app/MyJMSFactory",
resourceType="javax.jms.QueueConnectionFactory",
clientId="foo",
resourceAdapter="jmsra",
initialPoolSize=5,
maxPoolSize=15 )

@JMSDestinationDefinition(
name="java:app/orderQueue",
resourceType="javax.jms.Queue",
resourceAdapter="jmsra",
destinationName="orderQueue")

Improving Integration
with
Application Servers


Defining the interface between
JMS provider and an application server

•  Requirement: allowing any JMS provider to work in any
Java EE application server
•  Current solution: JMS 1.1 Chapter 8 JMS Application
Server Facilities


JMS 1.1 Chapter 8
JMS Application Server Facilities
•  Interfaces all optional, so not all vendors implement them
•  No requirement for application servers to support them
•  Some omissions
–  No support for pooled connections
•  Meanwhile…


Java EE Connector Architecture (JCA)

•  Designed for integrating pooled, transactional resources
in an application server
•  Designed to support async processing of messages by
MDBs
•  JCA support already mandatory in Java EE
•  Many JMS vendors already provide JCA adapters


Defining the interface between
JMS provider and an application server
•  JMS 2.0 will make provision of a JCA adaptor mandatory
•  JMS 1.1 Chapter 8 API remains optional, under review


Improvements to MDBs

•  Proposals being sent to JSR 342 (EJB 3.2)
•  Fill "gaps" in MDB configuration
•  Surprisingly, no standard way to specify
–  JNDI name of queue or topic (using annotation)
–  JNDI name of connection
–  clientID!
–  durableSubscriptionName!


Defining the destination used by a MDB

•  annotation...
@MessageDriven(messageDestinationLookup="jms/inboundQueue”)
...

•  ejb-jar.xml...
<ejb-jar>
<enterprise-beans>
<message-driven>
<ejb-name>MessageBean</ejb-name>
<message-destination-lookup-name>
jms/inboundQueue
<message-destination-lookup-name>
… all names are provisional

Defining the connection factory used by a MDB

•  annotation...
@MessageDriven(connectionFactoryLookup="jms/myCF")
...

•  ejb-jar.xml...
<ejb-jar>
<enterprise-beans>
<message-driven>
<ejb-name>MessageBean</ejb-name>
<connection-factory-lookup-name>
jms/myCF
<connection-factory-lookup-name>

...all names provisional

Defining the clientId and
durable subscription name used by a MDB
•  Define as standard activation config properties
@MessageDriven(activationConfig = {
@ActivationConfigProperty(
propertyName="subscriptionDurability",propertyValue="Durable"),
propertyName="clientId",propertyValue="MyMDB"),
propertyName="subscriptionName",propertyValue="MySub")
})

•  Many app servers support these already


New API Features


New API features

•  Delivery delay
•  Send a message with async acknowledgement from server
•  JMSXDeliveryCount becomes mandatory
•  Multiple consumers on the same topic subscription (both durable
and non-durable)
•  Some products implement some of these already


Delivery delay

•  Allows a JMS client to schedule the future delivery of a message
•  New method on MessageProducer
public void setDeliveryDelay(long deliveryDelay)

•  Sets the minimum length of time in milliseconds from its dispatch
time that a produced message should be retained by the messaging
system before delivery to a consumer.
•  Why? If the business requires deferred processing, e.g. end of day


Send a message with async
acknowledgement from server
•  Send a message and return immediately without blocking until an
acknowledgement has been received from the server.
•  Instead, when the acknowledgement is received, an asynchronous
callback will be invoked
producer.send(message, new AcknowledgeListener(){
public void onAcknowledge(Message message) {
// process ack
}
});

•  Why? Allows thread to do other work whilst waiting for the
acknowledgement


Make JMSXDeliveryCount mandatory

•  JMS 1.1 defines an optional JMS defined message
property JMSXDeliveryCount.
–  When used, this is set by the JMS provider when a message is
received, and is set to the number of times this message has
been delivered (including the first time). The first time is 1, the
second time 2, etc
•  JMS 2.0 will make this mandatory
•  Why? Allows app servers and applications to handle
"poisonous" messages better

Multiple consumers on a topic subscription

•  Allows scalable consumption of messages from a topic subscription
–  multiple threads
–  multiple JVMs
•  No further change to API for durable subscriptions (clientID not used)
•  New API for non-durable subscriptions
MessageConsumer messageConsumer=
session.createSharedConsumer(topic,sharedSubscriptionName);

•  Why? Scalability
•  Why? Allows greater scalability
