Client Notification Question

[sjacobs]

What is the easiest way to implement a messaging interface to notify clients when events occur on the server? Could someone point me toward a reference? Is JMS the standard way to do this even when a J2EE AS is involved?

Any help appreciated!

Youre client application should register to be a MessageListener on a queue ro topic.

When the server needs to notify the clients it can send a message to the queue or to a topic the client is registered for.

Use a topic if multiple clients must be notified, use a queue for 1 notification.
