What is the relationship between the Java Message Service, the Java Transaction API, and the Java Transaction Service?
The Java Transaction API (JTA) provides a client API for delimiting distributed transactions and an API for accessing a resource’s ability to participate in a distributed transaction. A JMS client may use JTA to delimit distributed transactions. A JMS provider can optionally support distributed transactions via JTA. The Java Transaction Service (JTS) can be used with the JMS API to form distributed transactions that combine message sends and receives with database updates and other JTS aware services. These services should be handled automatically when a JMS client is run from within an application server such as a J2EE server; however, it is also possible for JMS clients to program them explicitly. Q: Where can I find a JMS API discussion group? A: You can find a JMS API discussion forum at http://java.sun.com/j2ee/community/forums/index.html. You must be a member of the Java Developer Connection to join this forum. Q: Why is the JMS API promoted as a technology for providing communic
