pyhjb Access JMS systems from python via a REST API PyHJB_ allows python programs to access JMS_ messaging systems. It does this via a REST_ version of the JMS_ API provided by HJB_, the HTTP JMS bridge. .. _REST: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/REST .. _HJB: http://hjb.berlios.de .. _JMS: http://java.sun.com/products/jms .. _PyHJB: http://hjb.python-hosting.com HJB_ provides access to JMS resources via HTTP_. It acts as an HTTP gateway server for **any** JMS 1.1 messaging provider, providing RESTful_ equivalents for most of the non-optional portions of the JMS API. .. _RESTful: http://rest.blueoxen.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?BenjaminsRESTTutorial PyHJB_ is a pure python package which, via HJB_, allows python programs to: * send/receive messages from **any** Enterprise Messaging System that supports the JMS_ `1.1 API`_. It is distributed with a few demo scripts showing it being used with various different messaging providers: `WebSphere MQ`_, `Swift MQ`_, `Active MQ`_ and `JBoss Messaging`_. * register JMS `administrable objects`_ e.g, queues, topics and connection factories. * configure JMS runtime objects, e.g, connections_, sessions_, `message consumers`_, `message producers`_, `queue browsers`_ and `durable subscribers`_ etc. .. _1.1 API: http://java.sun.com/products/jms/docs.html .. _administrable objects: http://hjb.berlios.de/administered-objects.html#jms-administered-objects .. _connections: http://hjb.berlios.de/connections-sessions.html#jms-connections .. _sessions: http://hjb.berlios.de/connections-sessions.html#jms-sessions .. _message consumers: http://hjb.berlios.de/session-objects.html#message-consumers .. _message producers: http://hjb.berlios.de/session-objects.html#message-producers .. _queue browsers: http://hjb.berlios.de/session-objects.html#queue-browsers .. _durable subscribers: http://hjb.berlios.de/session-objects.html#durable-subscribers Importantly, python programs written using PyHJB are portable across `JMS messaging providers`_. The programs use the JMS_ API via HTTP_, rather than a vendor's custom messaging API, thus combining two great maintainability traits: * the use of the JMS API * being written in python! .. _JMS Messaging Providers: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Java_Message_Service#JMS_elements .. _HTTP: http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc2616 .. _WebSphere MQ: http://www-306.ibm.com/software/integration/wmq/ .. _Swift MQ: http://www.swiftmq.com/ .. _Active MQ: http://www.activemq.org .. _JBoss Messaging: http://www.jboss.com/products/messaging Tim Emiola 3f582bc07bc5b896f5a44916e28d0460644da9cf 0.5.1
