JMS ADAPTERS - Creating Weblogic Resources

JMS (Java Messaging Service) Adapter is based on JCA architecture (J2ee Connector Architecture) also known as Binding components. It can be used either as Inbound (receive message) or external (publish message).

Adapters basic helps converts native data to web services format to be used by composite. Conversion is done using JCA API, packaged as .rar file deployed in WebLogic server which is available during the runtime of a composite.

It falls under category of Technology Adapters. This can be used by both Oracle SOA Suite and Oracle Service Bus.

JMS is Java Messaging Server Application which runs of Application Servers as WebLogic provides JMS messaging infrastructure two mechanisms for message exchange –

• Point to Point (Queue)
• Publisher Subscribers (Topic)

This acts as a bi-directional adapter which allows messages to be published both (inbound and outbound)
