Message Queues

In computer science, a message queue is a software-engineering component used for interprocess communication or inter-thread communication within the same process. It uses a queue for messaging – the passing of control or of content.

Message queues provide an asynchronous communications protocol, meaning that the sender and receiver of the message do not need to interact with the message queue at the same time. Messages placed onto the queue are stored until the recipient retrieves them.

DocFamily supports Message-Queues as input- and output-channels means that DocFamily can read and write data to and from Message Queues. DocFamily interacts via the J2EE protocol called JMS with MQ systems.
