<p>The ConnectionFactory is a JMS specification client side interface for creating connections to a JMS broker. The Broker is a service on the network or <a shape="rect" href="how-do-i-embed-a-broker-inside-a-connection.html">embedded in the same JVM</a> which provides the message provider. So think of the ConnectionFactory as the client API for sending and receiving messages and the broker is a server side implementation.</p>
