/** The delivery modes supported by the JMS API are PERSISTENT and
* NON_PERSISTENT.
*
* A client marks a message as persistent if it feels that the
* application will have problems if the message is lost in transit.
* A client marks a message as non-persistent if an occasional
* lost message is tolerable. Clients use delivery mode to tell a
* JMS provider how to balance message transport reliability with throughput.
*
*
Delivery mode covers only the transport of the message to its
* destination. Retention of a message at the destination until
* its receipt is acknowledged is not guaranteed by a PERSISTENT
* delivery mode. Clients should assume that message retention
* policies are set administratively. Message retention policy
* governs the reliability of message delivery from destination
* to message consumer. For example, if a client's message storage
* space is exhausted, some messages may be dropped in accordance with
* a site-specific message retention policy.
*
*
A message is guaranteed to be delivered once and only once
* by a JMS provider if the delivery mode of the message is
* PERSISTENT
* and if the destination has a sufficient message retention policy.
