Method Detail

• setDisableMessageID

  void setDisableMessageID(boolean value)
                    throws JMSException

  Specify whether message IDs may be disabled.

  Since message IDs take some effort to create and increase a message's size, some Jakarta Messaging providers may be able to optimise message overhead if they are given a hint that the message ID is not used by an application. By calling this method, a Jakarta Messaging application enables this potential optimisation for all messages sent using this MessageProducer. If the Jakarta Messaging provider accepts this hint, these messages must have the message ID set to null; if the provider ignores the hint, the message ID must be set to its normal unique value.

  Message IDs are enabled by default.

  Parameters:

  value - indicates if message IDs may be disabled

  Throws:

  JMSException - if the Jakarta Messaging provider fails to set message ID to disabled due to some internal error.

• getDisableMessageID

  boolean getDisableMessageID()
                       throws JMSException

  Gets an indication of whether message IDs are disabled.

  Returns:

  an indication of whether message IDs are disabled

  Throws:

  JMSException - if the Jakarta Messaging provider fails to determine if message IDs are disabled due to some internal error.

• setDisableMessageTimestamp

  void setDisableMessageTimestamp(boolean value)
                           throws JMSException

  Specify whether message timestamps may be disabled.

  Since timestamps take some effort to create and increase a message's size, some Jakarta Messaging providers may be able to optimise message overhead if they are given a hint that the timestamp is not used by an application. By calling this method, a Jakarta Messaging application enables this potential optimisation for all messages sent using this MessageProducer. If the Jakarta Messaging provider accepts this hint, these messages must have the timestamp set to zero; if the provider ignores the hint, the timestamp must be set to its normal value.

  Message timestamps are enabled by default.

  Parameters:

  value - indicates whether message timestamps may be disabled

  Throws:

  JMSException - if the Jakarta Messaging provider fails to set timestamps to disabled due to some internal error.

• getDisableMessageTimestamp

  boolean getDisableMessageTimestamp()
                              throws JMSException

  Gets an indication of whether message timestamps are disabled.

  Returns:

  an indication of whether message timestamps are disabled

  Throws:

  JMSException - if the Jakarta Messaging provider fails to determine if timestamps are disabled due to some internal error.

• setDeliveryMode

  void setDeliveryMode(int deliveryMode)
                throws JMSException

  Sets the producer's default delivery mode.

  Delivery mode is set to PERSISTENT by default.

  Parameters:

  deliveryMode - the message delivery mode for this message producer; legal values are DeliveryMode.NON_PERSISTENT and DeliveryMode.PERSISTENT

  Throws:

  JMSException - if the Jakarta Messaging provider fails to set the delivery mode due to some internal error.

  setDeliveryMode(int)

• setPriority

  void setPriority(int defaultPriority)
            throws JMSException

  Sets the producer's default priority.

  The Jakarta Messaging API defines ten levels of priority value, with 0 as the lowest priority and 9 as the highest. Clients should consider priorities 0-4 as gradations of normal priority and priorities 5-9 as gradations of expedited priority. Priority is set to 4 by default.

  Parameters:

  defaultPriority - the message priority for this message producer; must be a value between 0 and 9

  Throws:

  JMSException - if the Jakarta Messaging provider fails to set the priority due to some internal error.

  See Also:

  getPriority(), Message.DEFAULT_PRIORITY

• getPriority

  int getPriority()
           throws JMSException

  Gets the producer's default priority.

                 throws JMSException

  Sets the minimum length of time in milliseconds that must elapse after a message is sent before the Jakarta Messaging provider may deliver the message to a consumer.

  For transacted sends, this time starts when the client sends the message, not when the transaction is committed.

  deliveryDelay is set to zero by default.

  Parameters:

  deliveryDelay - the delivery delay in milliseconds.

  Throws:

  JMSException - if the Jakarta Messaging provider fails to set the delivery delay due to some internal error.

• getDestination

  Destination getDestination()
                      throws JMSException

  Gets the destination associated with this MessageProducer.

  Returns:

  this producer's Destination

  Throws:

  JMSException - if the Jakarta Messaging provider fails to get the destination for this MessageProducer due to some internal error.

  Since:

• close

  void close()
      throws JMSException

  Closes the message producer.

  Since a provider may allocate some resources on behalf of a MessageProducer outside the Java virtual machine, clients should close them when they are not needed. Relying on garbage collection to eventually reclaim these resources may not be timely enough.

  This method must not return until any incomplete asynchronous send operations for this MessageProducer have been completed and any CompletionListener callbacks have returned. Incomplete sends should be allowed to complete normally unless an error occurs.

  A CompletionListener callback method must not call close on its own MessageProducer. Doing so will cause an IllegalStateException to be thrown.

  Specified by:

  close in interface java.lang.AutoCloseable

  Throws:

  IllegalStateException - this method has been called by a CompletionListener callback method on its own MessageProducer

  JMSException - if the Jakarta Messaging provider fails to close the producer due to some internal error.

• send

  void send(Message message)
     throws JMSException

  Sends a message using the MessageProducer's default delivery mode, priority, and time to live.

  Parameters:

  message - the message to send

  Throws:

  JMSException - if the Jakarta Messaging provider fails to send the message due to some internal error.

  MessageFormatException - if an invalid message is specified.

  InvalidDestinationException - if a client uses this method with a MessageProducer with an invalid destination.

  java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if a client uses this method with a MessageProducer that did not specify a destination at creation time.

            Message message)
     throws JMSException

  Sends a message to a destination for an unidentified message producer using the MessageProducer's default delivery mode, priority, and time to live.

  Typically, a message producer is assigned a destination at creation time; however, the Jakarta Messaging API also supports unidentified message producers, which require that the destination be supplied every time a message is sent.

  Parameters:

  destination - the destination to send this message to

  message - the message to send

  Throws:

  JMSException - if the Jakarta Messaging provider fails to send the message due to some internal error.

• send

  void send(Message message,
            CompletionListener completionListener)
     throws JMSException

  Sends a message using the MessageProducer's default delivery mode, priority, and time to live, performing part of the work involved in sending the message in a separate thread and notifying the specified CompletionListener when the operation has completed. Jakarta Messaging refers to this as an "asynchronous send".

  When the message has been successfully sent the Jakarta Messaging provider invokes the callback method onCompletion on an application-specified CompletionListener object. Only when that callback has been invoked can the application be sure that the message has been successfully sent with the same degree of confidence as if a normal synchronous send had been performed. An application which requires this degree of confidence must therefore wait for the callback to be invoked before continuing.

  The following information is intended to give an indication of how an asynchronous send would typically be implemented.

  In some Jakarta Messaging providers, a normal synchronous send involves sending the message to a remote Jakarta Messaging server and then waiting for an acknowledgement to be received before returning. It is expected that such a provider would implement an asynchronous send by sending the message to the remote Jakarta Messaging server and then returning without waiting for an acknowledgement. When the acknowledgement is received, the Jakarta Messaging provider would notify the application by invoking the onCompletion method on the application-specified CompletionListener object. If for some reason the acknowledgement is not received the Jakarta Messaging provider would notify the application by invoking the CompletionListener's onException method.

  In those cases where the Jakarta Messaging specification permits a lower level of reliability, a normal synchronous send might not wait for an acknowledgement. In that case it is expected that an asynchronous send would be similar to a synchronous send: the Jakarta Messaging provider would send the message to the remote Jakarta Messaging server and then return without waiting for an acknowledgement. However the Jakarta Messaging provider would still notify the application that the send had completed by invoking the onCompletion method on the application-specified CompletionListener object.

  It is up to the Jakarta Messaging provider to decide exactly what is performed in the calling thread and what, if anything, is performed asynchronously, so long as it satisfies the requirements given below:

  Quality of service: After the send operation has completed successfully, which means that the message has been successfully sent with the same degree of confidence as if a normal synchronous send had been performed, the JMS provider must invoke the CompletionListener's onCompletion method. The CompletionListener must not be invoked earlier than this.

  Exceptions: If an exception is encountered during the call to the send method then an appropriate exception should be thrown in the thread that is calling the send method. In this case the Jakarta Messaging provider must not invoke the CompletionListener's onCompletion or onException method. If an exception is encountered which cannot be thrown in the thread that is calling the send method then the Jakarta Messaging provider must call the CompletionListener's onException method. In both cases if an exception occurs it is undefined whether or not the message was successfully sent.

  Message order: If the same MessageProducer is used to send multiple messages then Jakarta Messaging message ordering requirements must be satisfied. This applies even if a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sends has been performed. The application is not required to wait for an asynchronous send to complete before sending the next message.

  Close, commit or rollback: If the close method is called on the MessageProducer or its Session or Connection then the Jakarta Messaging provider must block until any incomplete send operations have been completed and all CompletionListener callbacks have returned before closing the object and returning. If the session is transacted (uses a local transaction) then when the Session's commit or rollback method is called the Jakarta Messaging provider must block until any incomplete send operations have been completed and all CompletionListener callbacks have returned before performing the commit or rollback. Incomplete sends should be allowed to complete normally unless an error occurs.

  A CompletionListener callback method must not call close on its own Connection, Session or MessageProducer or call commit or rollback on its own Session. Doing so will cause the close, commit or rollback to throw an IllegalStateException.

  Restrictions on usage in Jakarta EE This method must not be used in a Jakarta EE EJB or web container. Doing so may cause a JMSException to be thrown though this is not guaranteed.

  Message headers Jakarta Messaging defines a number of message header fields and message properties which must be set by the "Jakarta Messaging provider on send". If the send is asynchronous these fields and properties may be accessed on the sending client only after the CompletionListener has been invoked. If the CompletionListener's onException method is called then the state of these message header fields and properties is undefined.

  Restrictions on threading: Applications that perform an asynchronous send must confirm to the threading restrictions defined in JMS. This means that the session may be used by only one thread at a time.

  Setting a CompletionListener does not cause the session to be dedicated to the thread of control which calls the CompletionListener. The application thread may therefore continue to use the session after performing an asynchronous send. However the CompletionListener's callback methods must not use the session if an application thread might be using the session at the same time.

  Use of the CompletionListener by the Jakarta Messaging provider: A session will only invoke one CompletionListener callback method at a time. For a given MessageProducer, callbacks (both onCompletion and onException) will be performed in the same order as the corresponding calls to the asynchronous send method. A Jakarta Messaging provider must not invoke the CompletionListener from the thread that is calling the asynchronous send method.

  Restrictions on the use of the Message object: Applications which perform an asynchronous send must take account of the restriction that a Message object is designed to be accessed by one logical thread of control at a time and does not support concurrent use.

  After the send method has returned, the application must not attempt to read the headers, properties or body of the Message object until the CompletionListener's onCompletion or onException method has been called. This is because the Jakarta Messaging provider may be modifying the Message object in another thread during this time. The Jakarta Messaging provider may throw an JMSException if the application attempts to access or modify the Message object after the send method has returned and before the CompletionListener has been invoked. If the Jakarta Messaging provider does not throw an exception then the behaviour is undefined.

  Parameters:

  message - the message to send

  completionListener - a CompletionListener to be notified when the send has completed

  Throws:

  JMSException - if an internal error occurs

  MessageFormatException - if an invalid message is specified.

  InvalidDestinationException - if a client uses this method with a MessageProducer with an invalid destination.

  java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the specified CompletionListener is null

  java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException - if a client uses this method with a MessageProducer that did not specify a destination at creation time.

  Sends a message to a destination for an unidentified message producer, specifying delivery mode, priority and time to live, performing part of the work involved in sending the message in a separate thread and notifying the specified CompletionListener when the operation has completed. Jakarta Messaging refers to this as an "asynchronous send".

  Typically, a message producer is assigned a destination at creation time; however, the Jakarta Messaging API also supports unidentified message producers, which require that the destination be supplied every time a message is sent.

  When the message has been successfully sent the Jakarta Messaging provider invokes the callback method onCompletion on an application-specified CompletionListener object. Only when that callback has been invoked can the application be sure that the message has been successfully sent with the same degree of confidence as if a normal synchronous send had been performed. An application which requires this degree of confidence must therefore wait for the callback to be invoked before continuing.

  The following information is intended to give an indication of how an asynchronous send would typically be implemented.

  In some Jakarta Messaging providers, a normal synchronous send involves sending the message to a remote Jakarta Messaging server and then waiting for an acknowledgement to be received before returning. It is expected that such a provider would implement an asynchronous send by sending the message to the remote Jakarta Messaging server and then returning without waiting for an acknowledgement. When the acknowledgement is received, the Jakarta Messaging provider would notify the application by invoking the onCompletion method on the application-specified CompletionListener object. If for some reason the acknowledgement is not received the Jakarta Messaging provider would notify the application by invoking the CompletionListener's onException method.

  In those cases where the Jakarta Messaging specification permits a lower level of reliability, a normal synchronous send might not wait for an acknowledgement. In that case it is expected that an asynchronous send would be similar to a synchronous send: the Jakarta Messaging provider would send the message to the remote Jakarta Messaging server and then return without waiting for an acknowledgement. However the Jakarta Messaging provider would still notify the application that the send had completed by invoking the onCompletion method on the application-specified CompletionListener object.

  It is up to the Jakarta Messaging provider to decide exactly what is performed in the calling thread and what, if anything, is performed asynchronously, so long as it satisfies the requirements given below:

  Quality of service: After the send operation has completed successfully, which means that the message has been successfully sent with the same degree of confidence as if a normal synchronous send had been performed, the JMS provider must invoke the CompletionListener's onCompletion method. The CompletionListener must not be invoked earlier than this.

  Exceptions: If an exception is encountered during the call to the send method then an appropriate exception should be thrown in the thread that is calling the send method. In this case the Jakarta Messaging provider must not invoke the CompletionListener's onCompletion or onException method. If an exception is encountered which cannot be thrown in the thread that is calling the send method then the Jakarta Messaging provider must call the CompletionListener's onException method. In both cases if an exception occurs it is undefined whether or not the message was successfully sent.

  Message order: If the same MessageProducer is used to send multiple messages then Jakarta Messaging message ordering requirements must be satisfied. This applies even if a combination of synchronous and asynchronous sends has been performed. The application is not required to wait for an asynchronous send to complete before sending the next message.

  Close, commit or rollback: If the close method is called on the MessageProducer or its Session or Connection then the Jakarta Messaging provider must block until any incomplete send operations have been completed and all CompletionListener callbacks have returned before closing the object and returning. If the session is transacted (uses a local transaction) then when the Session's commit or rollback method is called the Jakarta Messaging provider must block until any incomplete send operations have been completed and all CompletionListener callbacks have returned before performing the commit or rollback. Incomplete sends should be allowed to complete normally unless an error occurs.

  A CompletionListener callback method must not call close on its own Connection, Session or MessageProducer or call commit or rollback on its own Session. Doing so will cause the close, commit or rollback to throw an IllegalStateException.

  Restrictions on usage in Jakarta EE This method must not be used in a Jakarta EE EJB or web container. Doing so may cause a JMSException to be thrown though this is not guaranteed.

  Message headers Jakarta Messaging defines a number of message header fields and message properties which must be set by the "Jakarta Messaging provider on send". If the send is asynchronous these fields and properties may be accessed on the sending client only after the CompletionListener has been invoked. If the CompletionListener's onException method is called then the state of these message header fields and properties is undefined.

  Restrictions on threading: Applications that perform an asynchronous send must confirm to the threading restrictions defined in JMS. This means that the session may be used by only one thread at a time.

  Setting a CompletionListener does not cause the session to be dedicated to the thread of control which calls the CompletionListener. The application thread may therefore continue to use the session after performing an asynchronous send. However the CompletionListener's callback methods must not use the session if an application thread might be using the session at the same time.

  Use of the CompletionListener by the Jakarta Messaging provider: A session will only invoke one CompletionListener callback method at a time. For a given MessageProducer, callbacks (both onCompletion and onException) will be performed in the same order as the corresponding calls to the asynchronous send method. A Jakarta Messaging provider must not invoke the CompletionListener from the thread that is calling the asynchronous send method.

  Restrictions on the use of the Message object: Applications which perform an asynchronous send must take account of the restriction that a Message object is designed to be accessed by one logical thread of control at a time and does not support concurrent use.

  After the send method has returned, the application must not attempt to read the headers, properties or body of the Message object until the CompletionListener's onCompletion or onException method has been called. This is because the Jakarta Messaging provider may be modifying the Message object in another thread during this time. The Jakarta Messaging provider may throw an JMSException if the application attempts to access or modify the Message object after the send method has returned and before the CompletionListener has been invoked. If the Jakarta Messaging provider does not throw an exception then the behaviour is undefined.

  Parameters:

  destination - the destination to send this message to

  message - the message to send
