These topics describe how to use asynchronous messaging with WebSphere ESB, to enable enterprise applications to use JMS resources and message-driven beans.
WebSphere ESB supports asynchronous messaging as a method of communication based on the Java Message Service (JMS) programming interface. This JMS support is provided by one or more JMS providers, and associated services and resources, that you configure for use by enterprise applications. You can deploy EJB 2.1 applications that use the JMS 1.1 interfaces and EJB 2.0 applications that use the JMS 1.0.2 interfaces. This support is provided by the WebSphere Application Server on which WebSphere ESB is built.
You can use the WebSphere administrative console to administer the WebSphere ESB support for asynchronous messaging. For example, you can configure messaging providers and their resources, and can control the activity of messaging services.
