| |
| <p>The <link><page ri:content-title="NMS API"></page><link-body>NMS API</link-body></link> (<em>.Net Message Service API</em>) providers a standard .NET interface to Messaging Systems. There could be multiple implementations to different <link><page ri:content-title="NMS Providers"></page><link-body>providers</link-body></link> (including MSMQ). The NMS API This allows you to build .NET applications in C#, VB, or any other .NET language, using a single API to connect to multiple different providers using a JMS style API. </p> |
| |
| <p>NMS API currently supports all of the features of JMS in a simple pure C# API and implementation apart from XA. Current features include</p> |
| <ul><li>creating & disposing of connections, sessions, producers, consumers</li><li>sending of messages to topics, queues with durable or non durable along with temporary destination support</li><li>synchronous consuming (blocking receive, receive with no wait or receive with a timeout)</li><li>asynchronous consuming (adding a MessageListener to be dispatched in the thread pool)</li><li>message header support along with custom properties</li><li>Text, Bytes, Stream and Map message support</li><li>support for transactions (sending and acknowledging multiple messages in an atomic transaction)</li><li>redelivery of messages in rollbacks up to some configured maximum redelivery count</li><li>Optional Queue browser interface for providers that can support it.</li><li>Optional .NET Distributed Transaction Support for providers that can support that.</li></ul> |
