<chapter xmlns="http://docbook.org/ns/docbook" version="5.0" xml:id="JMS-Client-0-8-Document-Scope-And-Intended-Audience">
  <title>Document Scope And Intended Audience</title>

  <para> The intended audience of this document is Java developers who are familiar with the JMS
    specification. Readers are not required to know all the details of AMQP protocols. However, some
    knowledge of AMQP basic concepts would be advantageous for reading of this document. </para>

  <para> This document only covers the usage of 0-8, 0-9 and 0-9-1 AMQP protocols with Apache Qpid JMS
    client for AMQP 0-9-1/0-10. The specifications for these protocols are available from the
    <link xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" xlink:href="${amqpSrc}">AMQP web site</link>. </para>

  <para> The document covers some specific implementation details of JMS connections, sessions,
    consumers and producers in <xref linkend="JMS-Client-0-8-Client-Understanding"/>. It also
    demonstrates how to write a simple point to point and simple publish/subscribe application using
    the Client in <xref linkend="JMS-Client-0-8-Examples"/>. </para>

  <para>The Client supports various configuration options which can be set via JVM system
    properties, connection URLs and JNDI configuration file. The setting of system properties is
    described in <xref linkend="JMS-Client-0-8-System-Properties"/>. The details of supported
    options within the connection URLs are given in <xref linkend="JMS-Client-0-8-Connection-URL"/>.
    The details of JNDI properties format for the Apache Qpid JMS client for AMQP 0-9-1/0-10 is provided in
    <xref linkend="JMS-Client-0-8-JNDI-Properties-Format"/>. The Qpid destination URL format is covered
    in <xref linkend="JMS-Client-0-8-Binding-URL"/>. </para>

  <para>The Client can be used for writing of JMS vendor neutral messaging applications.
    However, in some cases it might be required to use specific AMQP features. Thus, the Client
    provides the extended operation set to invoke those features. </para>

  <para>
    <xref linkend="JMS-Client-0-8-Logging"/> provides the details about turning on client logging
    which can help in debugging of various issues while developing the messaging applications. </para>

  <para>The details about Client Exceptions are provided in <xref linkend="JMS-Client-0-8-Appendix-Exceptions"/></para>
