/** A client uses a MessageProducer object to send messages to a 
  * destination. A MessageProducer object is created by passing a 
  * Destination object to a message-producer creation method 
  * supplied by a session.
  *
  * 

MessageProducer is the parent interface for all message * producers. * *

A client also has the option of creating a message producer without * supplying a destination. In this case, a destination must be provided with * every send operation. A typical use for this kind of message producer is * to send replies to requests using the request's JMSReplyTo * destination. * *

A client can specify a default delivery mode, priority, and time to live * for messages sent by a message producer. It can also specify the delivery * mode, priority, and time to live for an individual message. * *

A client can specify a time-to-live value in milliseconds for each * message it sends. This value defines a message expiration time that * is the sum of the message's time-to-live and the GMT when it is sent (for * transacted sends, this is the time the client sends the message, not * the time the transaction is committed). * *

A JMS provider should do its best to expire messages accurately; * however, the JMS API does not define the accuracy provided. * * @version 1.1 - February 2, 2002 * @author Mark Hapner * @author Rich Burridge * @author Kate Stout * * @see javax.jms.TopicPublisher * @see javax.jms.QueueSender * @see javax.jms.Session#createProducer */ public interface MessageProducer { /** Sets whether message IDs are disabled. * *
