JMS question

hello,
I know how to code in java pretty good (i guess)
and I know some MQ series stuff websphere mq 5.3

but..

how does JMS fit with all this??
My company is going to j2ee
and I want to know how to learn JMS and how it will work with WMQ 5.3..

where should I go, the sun tutorial seems a little abstract..

any help is awesome!! thanks

Ryan - A JMS 1.0.2b implementation ships with WebSphere MQ 5.3, although I believe it isn't installed by default. This was updated to JMS 1.1 in CSD6. For information about how to use it, I would look at the MQSeries "Using Java"
book. This can be found at

Hope this helps,

Ben.

You may also consider to read the book about JMS and WAS:
Enterprise Messaging Using Jms and IBM Websphere

You might want to start with the Embedded Messaging in WSAD 5.1.x. That way you can write some simple JMS point to point or pub/sub applications.

I would also be good to experiment with the JMSAdmin tool that comes with MQ. It is one way you can bind objects (QueueConnectionFactories, Topics, etc) in the JNDI namespace.

Look at these:
