JMS

Good day,

The new ADT system our institution is considering buying does not communicate through standard MLLP socket based protocol. Instead, the vendor is offering 2 choices, file transfer or JMS.

My experience tells me that I should use a more controlled technique for transferring messages to/from my ADT system than a simple file transfer so I am trying to understand a bit more about the JMS technology which I am not familiar with.

So, assuming our ADT vendor will be a JMS client, I understand that Cloverleaf can only be a JMS client as well, not a JMS server. So I would need to setup a JMS server (JMS provider) in the likes of WebsphereMQ in order to connect us all. I think WebsphereMQ might be an overkill considering that we just want to use the JMS provider as some kind of pass-through to Cloverleaf. So I am considering Open Source implementation of JMS provider like Apache ActiveMQ for this.

Am I totally in left field with my reasoning or am I making sense … thank you for commenting  😕
