Messaging is an extremely powerful tool for building distributed software systems of different levels. Typically, at least in Java ecosystem, the client (front-end) never interacts with message broker (or exchange) directly but does it by invoking server-side (back-end) services. Or client may not even be aware that there’s messaging solution in place.
With Websockets gaining more and more adoption, and wide support of the text-oriented protocols like STOMP (used to communicate with message broker or exchange) are going to make a difference. Today’s post will try to explain how simple it is to expose two very popular JMS implementations, Apache ActiveMQ and JBoss HornetQ, to be available to web front-end (JavaScript) using STOMP over Websockets.
Before digging into the code, one might argue that it’s not a good idea to do that. So what’s the purpose? The answer really depends:
