What is the role of JMS in enterprise solution development?

JMS is typically used in the following scenarios 1. Enterprise Application Integration: - Where a legacy application is integrated with a new application via messaging. 2. B2B or Business to Business: - Businesses can interact with each other via messaging because JMS allows organizations to cooperate without tightly coupling their business systems. 3. Geographically dispersed units: - JMS can ensure safe exchange of data amongst the geographically dispersed units of an organization. 4. One to many applications: - The applications that need to push data in packet to huge number of clients in a one-to-many fashion are good candidates for the use of JMS. Typical such applications are Auction Sites, Stock Quote Services etc.
