Universal Message
Service (UMS)

Universal Message Service
• UMS is a very simple API
• It is implemented as a WebApp
> Deployed to any web container (GlassFish, Tomcat, GF
v3Prelude)
• Simple to configure
Sun Confidential: Internal Only 11

UMS – Simple Yet Powerful
• Simple API
Login (optional)
>
Send
>
Receive
>
Commit (optional)
>
Rollback (optional)
>
Close (optional)
>
• Supports HTTP or HTTPS
• For stateless clients (i.e. No login/logout) limited only by
throughput requirements
• Support many stateful clients per JMS connection
> Default is 100 stateful clients per connection
Sun Confidential: Internal Only 12

UMS Interface Types
• Simple messaging with HTTP URL query string
> Post /ums/simple?service=send&destination=myQueue
Hello, World!
• XML Document
<SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV=\"http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/
envelope/\">
<SOAP-ENV:Header>
<ums:MessageHeader xmlns:ums=\"https://mq.dev.java.net/ums\"

Universal Message Service
• Why mess with JMS?
> JMS is a very rich and stable API
> JMS is designed for back-end messaging
• Goal is to allow any web enabled client to easily access
this back-end
> Provide a simpler API
> Scripting languages; Compiled languages
> Lower deployment overhead
– Reduce or eliminate deployment issues with client runtime
• Ubiquity of XML and URI query

Demo. Setup
• If you want to follow along with the demo you'll need
> MQ 4.3 – http://sun.com/software/products/message_queue/get.jsp
> GlassFish v3 Prelude –
http://sun.com/software/products/glassfishv3_prelude/get.jsp
> To run the Python sample, you'll need Python –
http://python.org/download/releases/2.5.2/
> The C# example only works in Windows operating environment.

Demonstration
• Start the MQ Broker
> Imqbrokerd -tty
• Deploy UMS.war to your web container
> Asadmin start-domain
> Asadmin deploy ums.war ($mq-home/mq/lib/ums/imqums.war)
• Point your browser to
> http://localhost:8080/ums/
• Select “Examples” link
• Try the Ajax Send and Receive
• Send w/Python; Receive w/C#
> python SendSOAPMsg.py -s localhost:8080 -f <filename>
> ReceiveSOAPMsg.exe -s localhost:8080

UMS vs. JMS
• UMS is not a JMS replacement
• Use UMS for low volume clients
> Particularly useful with scripted applications
> Suitable for many clients, each at relatively low volume
– Client messaging measured in messages per minute
– Tens of Thousands of active clients, perhaps more
> No client runtime to distribute or manage
• Use JMS (Java or C) for traditional settings
> Highest throughput, supports (relatively) fewer clients
– Client messaging measured in hundreds to thousands per second
– Hundreds to thousands of clients
> Much richer control
> Runtime deployment must be managed
