How do I develop publish/subscribe applications?

New users: use the links in this topic to get concept and reference information that is useful when you develop publish/subscribe applications. Publish/subscribe is a style of messaging application in which the providers of information (publishers) are decoupled from the consumers of that information (subscribers) using a broker. The following samples are examples of simple publish/subscribe message flows, and include associated end user applications. You can view samples only when you use the information center that is integrated with the Message Brokers Toolkit. A publish/subscribe application can consist of a network of brokers connected together. By connecting brokers together, publications can be received by a client on any broker in the network. A publish/subscribe topology consists of the brokers, the collectives, and the connections between them, that support publish/subscribe applications in the broker domain. Links to information about setting up a publish/subscribe topology and associated administration tasks are provided in How do I plan and configure a broker domain?
