JBoss/JMS Connection

The Connection is responsible for controlling the communication with the server, including the initial handshake.

It is constructed by the Implementation delegate of the ConnectionFactory.

It implements

• javax.jms.Connection

• javax.jms.XAConnection

• javax.jms.QueueConnection

• javax.jms.XAQueueConnection

• javax.jms.TopicConnection

• javax.jms.XATopicConnection

Implementation

It will normally be implemented with at least the following interceptors.

Client side:

• Close interceptor acts as a valve to stop requests on closed objects.

• JMSException interceptor turns non JMSExceptions thrown by the generic backend into JMSExceptions.

• Factory interceptor to construct the session facade and messaging api container.

• Connection interceptor for handling connections, e.g. initial handshake, ping/pong and the exception handler.

• Invoker interceptor sends remote requests over the network using the configured protocol.

Server side:

• Client interceptor used by the server to keep track of client connections.

• Security interceptor used by the server to authenticate/authorise the request.
