/** A Session object is a single-threaded context for producing and consuming
* messages. Although it may allocate provider resources outside the Java
* virtual machine (JVM), it is considered a lightweight JMS object.
*
*
A session serves several purposes:
*
*
* - It is a factory for its message producers and consumers.
*
- It supplies provider-optimized message factories.
*
- It is a factory for
TemporaryTopics and
* TemporaryQueues.
* - It provides a way to create
Queue or Topic
* objects for those clients that need to dynamically manipulate
* provider-specific destination names.
* - It supports a single series of transactions that combine work
* spanning its producers and consumers into atomic units.
*
- It defines a serial order for the messages it consumes and
* the messages it produces.
*
- It retains messages it consumes until they have been
* acknowledged.
*
- It serializes execution of message listeners registered with
* its message consumers.
*
- It is a factory for
QueueBrowsers.
*
*
* A session can create and service multiple message producers and
* consumers.
*
*
One typical use is to have a thread block on a synchronous
* MessageConsumer until a message arrives. The thread may then
* use one or more of the Session's MessageProducers.
*
*
If a client desires to have one thread produce messages while others
* consume them, the client should use a separate session for its producing
* thread.
*
*
Once a connection has been started, any session with one or more
* registered message listeners is dedicated to the thread of control that
* delivers messages to it. It is erroneous for client code to use this session
* or any of its constituent objects from another thread of control. The
* only exception to this rule is the use of the session or connection
* close method.
*
*
It should be easy for most clients to partition their work naturally
* into sessions. This model allows clients to start simply and incrementally
* add message processing complexity as their need for concurrency grows.
*
*
The close method is the only session method that can be
* called while some other session method is being executed in another thread.
*
*
A session may be specified as transacted. Each transacted
* session supports a single series of transactions. Each transaction groups
* a set of message sends and a set of message receives into an atomic unit
* of work. In effect, transactions organize a session's input message
* stream and output message stream into series of atomic units. When a
* transaction commits, its atomic unit of input is acknowledged and its
* associated atomic unit of output is sent. If a transaction rollback is
* done, the transaction's sent messages are destroyed and the session's input
* is automatically recovered.
*
*
The content of a transaction's input and output units is simply those
* messages that have been produced and consumed within the session's current
* transaction.
*
*
A transaction is completed using either its session's commit
* method or its session's rollback method. The completion of a
* session's current transaction automatically begins the next. The result is
* that a transacted session always has a current transaction within which its
* work is done.
*
*
The Java Transaction Service (JTS) or some other transaction monitor may
* be used to combine a session's transaction with transactions on other
* resources (databases, other JMS sessions, etc.). Since Java distributed
* transactions are controlled via the Java Transaction API (JTA), use of the
* session's commit and rollback methods in
* this context is prohibited.
*
*
The JMS API does not require support for JTA; however, it does define
* how a provider supplies this support.
*
*
Although it is also possible for a JMS client to handle distributed
* transactions directly, it is unlikely that many JMS clients will do this.
* Support for JTA in the JMS API is targeted at systems vendors who will be
* integrating the JMS API into their application server products.
