Welcome to the Novell exteNd Messaging Platform's JMS - a 100% pure Java implementation of the Java Messaging Service (JMS) API based on high performance, scalable and enterprise class IIOP support in the ORB. Novell exteNd Messaging Platform's JMS is fully compliant with version 1.1 of the JMS specification and implements all features, including transactional messaging and concurrent message processing using the ServerSession API.
With support for both the point-to-point (PTP) and publish/subscribe (Pub/Sub) messaging models, Novell exteNd Messaging Platform's JMS is a very flexible messaging system, which can be used in enterprise systems with very diverse and stringent requirements. In addition to the standard JMS features, several value-added functions, including built-in system name space, security, and administration are provided.
This release includes support for clustering (fault tolerance and load balancing), improved memory management, and HTTP client connectivity via the ORB's HTTP tunnel. Furthermore, the 5.1 release supports message start times, a new individual message acknowledge mode, additional databases and a JMS monitor process.
The JMS server requires Java 2, ORB 5.1 (or higher), and JNDI 1.2 (with COS Naming provider). Database access is required for persisting messages and maintaining security, queue, and topic information. You need database client software, including JDBC driver and any configuration necessary to enable Java applications to connect to the database. The following databases are supported:
The JMS clients have the same requirements as the JMS server except that the clients do not require a database.
This release has been tested on Windows NT/2000, Solaris Sparc/Intel 2.6+, Linux Red Hat 7.x/8, and Netware 6.5. The following JDKs are supported:
JDK 1.2, 1.3 and 1.4 (Java 2 Standard Edition)
