WebSphere Extended Deployment 6.0.1 extends the dynamic operations environment to JMS by providing the capability to categorize and prioritize JMS messages. JMS messages can be classified by Destination, that is, topic or queue. Service policies can be defined to prioritize messages differently based on the destination name.
While JMS messages can be consumed by standalone clients or J2EE applications in a client container or J2EE applications running in an application server, Extended Deployment 6.0.1 only supports classification and flow control of messages for J2EE applications inside application server. For JMS, autonomic request flow manager gateways runs in the application server hosting the application, which means that JMS traffic is not handled by the ODR server.
For Message Driven Beans, service policy goals are based on the service times of the onMessage method. For synchronous JMS message consumers, service time is the interval between time of message delivery to the application and the application returning for the next message on the same consumer session.
