What is a messaging provider?
A messaging provider is a service that works with the messaging infrastructure to route and transmit messages. What it does is completely transparent to the client sending or receiving a message. An application that uses a messaging provider must use a connection that goes to the provider, called a ProviderConnection object in the JAXM API. Using a messaging provider also requires some deployment and configuration. Normally, a client using a messaging provider runs in a container — either a servlet or a J2EE container. At deployment time, the client needs to give the container information about the messaging provider. In the future, there will be a deployment tool that makes this easy.
