Introduction to JMS Connector

A JMS Connector is a middleware component that enables communication between different systems, applications, or services using the JMS API.
JMS Connector facilitates communication between Java applications and messaging systems, such as queues or topics. You can use JMS Connector in enterprise environments to integrate distributed systems and to establish reliable, asynchronous message communication. JMS Connector replaces the traditional method of creating a messaging service in the Application Integration Console and then establishing the connection between Java applications and messaging brokers.
The JMS source service produces events by receiving messages from a JMS provider and publishing those messages as events. When a JMS Service object is initialized, it instantiates its own JMS Connection Factory.
