javax.jms: public interface: MessageProducer

javax.jms
public interface: MessageProducer [javadoc | source]

All Known Implementing Classes:
QueueSender, TopicPublisher

A client uses a MessageProducer object to send messages to a destination. A MessageProducer object is created by passing a Destination object to a message-producer creation method supplied by a session.

MessageProducer is the parent interface for all message producers.

A client also has the option of creating a message producer without supplying a destination. In this case, a destination must be provided with every send operation. A typical use for this kind of message producer is to send replies to requests using the request's JMSReplyTo destination.

A client can specify a default delivery mode, priority, and time to live for messages sent by a message producer. It can also specify the delivery mode, priority, and time to live for an individual message.

A client can specify a time-to-live value in milliseconds for each message it sends. This value defines a message expiration time that is the sum of the message's time-to-live and the GMT when it is sent (for transacted sends, this is the time the client sends the message, not the time the transaction is committed).

A JMS provider should do its best to expire messages accurately; however, the JMS API does not define the accuracy provided.

Method from javax.jms.MessageProducer Summary:
close, getDeliveryMode, getDestination, getDisableMessageID, getDisableMessageTimestamp, getPriority, getTimeToLive, send, send, send, send, setDeliveryMode, setDisableMessageID, setDisableMessageTimestamp, setPriority, setTimeToLive

Method from javax.jms.MessageProducer Detail:
public void close() throws JMSException Closes the message producer. Since a provider may allocate some resources on behalf of a `MessageProducer` outside the Java virtual machine, clients should close them when they are not needed. Relying on garbage collection to eventually reclaim these resources may not be timely enough.
public int getDeliveryMode() throws JMSException Gets the producer's default delivery mode.
public Destination getDestination() throws JMSException Gets the destination associated with this `MessageProducer`.
public boolean getDisableMessageID() throws JMSException Gets an indication of whether message IDs are disabled.
public boolean getDisableMessageTimestamp() throws JMSException Gets an indication of whether message timestamps are disabled.
public int getPriority() throws JMSException Gets the producer's default priority.
public long getTimeToLive() throws JMSException Gets the default length of time in milliseconds from its dispatch time that a produced message should be retained by the message system.
public void send(Message message) throws JMSException Sends a message using the `MessageProducer`'s default delivery mode, priority, and time to live.
public void send(Destination destination, Message message) throws JMSException Sends a message to a destination for an unidentified message producer. Uses the `MessageProducer`'s default delivery mode, priority, and time to live. Typically, a message producer is assigned a destination at creation time; however, the JMS API also supports unidentified message producers, which require that the destination be supplied every time a message is sent.
public void send(Message message, int deliveryMode, int priority, long timeToLive) throws JMSException Sends a message to the destination, specifying delivery mode, priority, and time to live.
public void send(Destination destination, Message message, int deliveryMode, int priority, long timeToLive) throws JMSException Sends a message to a destination for an unidentified message producer, specifying delivery mode, priority and time to live. Typically, a message producer is assigned a destination at creation time; however, the JMS API also supports unidentified message producers, which require that the destination be supplied every time a message is sent.
public void setDeliveryMode(int deliveryMode) throws JMSException Sets the producer's default delivery mode. Delivery mode is set to `PERSISTENT` by default.
public void setDisableMessageID(boolean value) throws JMSException Sets whether message IDs are disabled. Since message IDs take some effort to create and increase a message's size, some JMS providers may be able to optimize message overhead if they are given a hint that the message ID is not used by an application. By calling the `setDisableMessageID` method on this message producer, a JMS client enables this potential optimization for all messages sent by this message producer. If the JMS provider accepts this hint, these messages must have the message ID set to null; if the provider ignores the hint, the message ID must be set to its normal unique value. Message IDs are enabled by default.
public void setDisableMessageTimestamp(boolean value) throws JMSException Sets whether message timestamps are disabled. Since timestamps take some effort to create and increase a message's size, some JMS providers may be able to optimize message overhead if they are given a hint that the timestamp is not used by an application. By calling the `setDisableMessageTimestamp` method on this message producer, a JMS client enables this potential optimization for all messages sent by this message producer. If the JMS provider accepts this hint, these messages must have the timestamp set to zero; if the provider ignores the hint, the timestamp must be set to its normal value. Message timestamps are enabled by default.
public void setPriority(int defaultPriority) throws JMSException Sets the producer's default priority. The JMS API defines ten levels of priority value, with 0 as the lowest priority and 9 as the highest. Clients should consider priorities 0-4 as gradations of normal priority and priorities 5-9 as gradations of expedited priority. Priority is set to 4 by default.
public void setTimeToLive(long timeToLive) throws JMSException Sets the default length of time in milliseconds from its dispatch time that a produced message should be retained by the message system. Time to live is set to zero by default.
