Introduction

Java Message Service (JMS) and Enterprise JavaBeans (EJB) are two fundamental technologies in the Java EE ecosystem. JMS provides a standard API for messaging, enabling applications to send and receive messages, while EJB provides a framework for developing enterprise-level applications. In this article, we will explore how to integrate JMS and EJB using Maven, a popular build tool for Java projects.

Maven Project Structure

To create a Maven project that integrates JMS and EJB, we need to create a new Maven project with the following structure:

<project xmlns="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
         xsi:schemaLocation="http://maven.apache.org/POM/4.0.0 http://maven.apache.org/xsd/maven-4.0.0.xsd">
    <modelVersion>4.0.0</modelVersion>

    <groupId>com.example</groupId>
    <artifactId>jms-ejb</artifactId>
    <version>1.0-SNAPSHOT</version>
    <packaging>ejb</packaging>

    <properties>
        <maven.compiler.source>1.8</maven.compiler.source>
        <maven.compiler.target>1.8</maven.compiler.target>
        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
        <failOnMissingWebXml>false</failOnMissingWebXml> </properties>

    <dependencies>
        <dependency>
            <groupId>javax</groupId>
            <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
            <version>8.0</version> <scope>provided</scope>
        </dependency>
    </dependencies>

    <build>
        <plugins>
            <plugin>
                <groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
                <artifactId>maven-ejb-plugin</artifactId>
                <version>3.2.1</version>
                <configuration>
                    <ejbVersion>3.2</ejbVersion> </configuration>
            </plugin>
        </plugins>
    </build>
</project>

This POM file defines a Maven project with the following characteristics:

  • groupId: com.example
  • artifactId: jms-ejb
  • version: 1.0-SNAPSHOT
  • packaging: ejb
  • maven.compiler.source and maven.compiler.target: 1.8
  • project.build.sourceEncoding: UTF-8
  • failOnMissingWebXml: false
  • dependencies: javaee-api with version 8.0 and scope provided
  • build: maven-ejb-plugin with version 3.2.1 and configuration ejbVersion set to 3.2

Creating an EJB Project

To create an EJB project, we need to create a new Java class that extends the StatelessSessionBean interface. This interface is part of the EJB specification and provides a basic implementation for stateless session beans.

package com.example.jms.ejb;

import javax.ejb.Stateless;

@Stateless
public class MessageBean {
    public void sendMessage(String message) {
        System.out.println("Sending message: " + message);
    }
}

This MessageBean class is a simple stateless session bean that has a single method sendMessage that prints a message to the console.

Creating a JMS Project

To create a JMS project, we need to create a new Java class that extends the MessageProducer interface. This interface is part of the JMS specification and provides a basic implementation for message producers.

package com.example.jms.ejb;

import javax.jms.Connection;
import javax.jms.ConnectionFactory;
import javax.jms.Destination;
import javax.jms.JMSException;
import javax.jms.MessageProducer;
import javax.jms.Session;

public class JmsProducer {
    public void sendMessage(String message) throws JMSException {
        ConnectionFactory connectionFactory = new ActiveMQConnectionFactory("tcp://localhost:61616");
        Connection connection = connectionFactory.createConnection();
        Session session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
        Destination destination = session.createQueue("myQueue");
        MessageProducer producer = session.createProducer(destination);
        producer.send(session.createTextMessage(message));
        connection.close();
    }
}

This JmsProducer class is a simple message producer that sends a message to a JMS queue.

Integrating JMS and EJB

To integrate JMS and EJB, we need to create a new Java class that extends the MessageBean class and uses the JmsProducer class to send a message to a JMS queue.

package com.example.jms.ejb;

import javax.ejb.Stateless;

@Stateless
public class MessageBean {
    @EJB
    private JmsProducer jmsProducer;

    public void sendMessage(String message) {
        jmsProducer.sendMessage(message);
    }
}

This MessageBean class is a stateless session bean that has a single method sendMessage that uses the JmsProducer class to send a message to a JMS queue.

Testing the Integration

To test the integration of JMS and EJB, we need to create a new Java class that uses the MessageBean class to send a message to a JMS queue.

package com.example.jms.ejb;

import javax.ejb.EJB;

public class TestMessageBean {
    @EJB
    private MessageBean messageBean;

    public void testSendMessage() {
        messageBean.sendMessage("Hello, World!");
    }
}

This TestMessageBean class is a simple test class that uses the MessageBean class to send a message to a JMS queue.

Conclusion

In this article, we have explored how to integrate JMS and EJB using Maven. We have created a new Maven project with the following structure:

  • groupId: com.example
  • artifactId: jms-ejb
  • version: 1.0-SNAPSHOT
  • packaging: ejb
  • maven.compiler.source and maven.compiler.target: 1.8
  • project.build.sourceEncoding: UTF-8
  • failOnMissingWebXml: false
  • dependencies: javaee-api with version 8.0 and scope provided
  • build: maven-ejb-plugin with version 3.2.1 and configuration ejbVersion set to 3.2

We have also created a new Java class that extends the StatelessSessionBean interface and provides a basic implementation for stateless session beans. We have also created a new Java class that extends the MessageProducer interface and provides a basic implementation for message producers. Finally, we have integrated JMS and EJB using a new Java class that uses the MessageBean class to send a message to a JMS queue.
