Abstract: Enterprise infrastructures rely increasingly on messsage-oriented middleware. The Java Message Service (JMS) technology is the Java Enterprise API technology for messaging. JMS provides capabilities for reliable queues and publish/subscribe messaging. Reliable queues provide the basis for asynchronous task management within an enterprise. Publish/subscribe functionality supports dynamic interconnection of information sources with subscribers interested in that information. This talk describe the JMS API technology and its uses in

modern enterprises.

NDPS Event Notification Service (ENS) Goals

Provide extensible, asynchronous distribution channel for event data. Supportive of diverse address schemes

and delivery methods Transport and platform neutral Localization friendly Secure Efficient in its use of network bandwidth

3/4/98 PWG Presentation - Events and Notification

34

ENS Principles

Notification Protocol is a separable, general purpose protocol, it IS NOT just a subset of the Print protocol

Use a “channel” for scalabilityThe service makes it possible for the

client (not server) to localize/translateUse “mixed” (human and machine)

consumption models

Submitting a Profile

Printer Agent only reports an event if there is some interest

Profile with Job (Security: User role) Job and Printer events (printer only

while Job is active)Profile outside of Job (Security:

Operator role) Printer and All Jobs

What is a Profile?

Notification Profile persistence consumer name language id method oid delivery address set of event objects

Identifiers Strings

NDPS: Publish/Subscribe with variations

Many (extensible) notification methodsSubscribe by proxy through the printer

Instead of finding Printer Agent AND Channel Just find Printer Agent Subscription is made
