Purpose

This component provides connectivity to Java Message Service (JMS) systems. It enables the use of JMS resources in both local and distributed transactions.

The JMS Connector Service combines the functions defined in the J2EE Connector Architecture and in the JMS standard as well. It is implemented as a resource adapter, which you can easily customize using an XML document to enable connectivity to various JMS providers.

You must install this component if you use JMS transactional resources.

The JMS Connector Service presents the middle tier between the client and the JMS provider. It enables the client to use the JMS administered objects in an environment that also provides transaction and resource handling logic.
