JMS interfaces

WebSphere® Application Server supports applications that use JMS 1.1 domain-independent interfaces (referred to as "common interfaces" in the JMS specification) and JMS 1.0.2 domain-specific interfaces.

With JMS 1.1, the preferred approach for implementing applications is to use common interfaces because they provide a simpler programming model than domain-specific interfaces. Also, applications can create both queues and topics in the same session and coordinate their use in the same transaction. Common interfaces are parents of domain-specific interfaces.

Note: Domain-specific interfaces (provided for JMS 1.0.2 in WebSphere Application Server Version 5) are supported only to provide compatibility for applications that have already been implemented to use those interfaces.
