JMS and FireWall support

Question

hi all,
we have a central server connected to many remote servers over the internet.
Some of the clients have permanent public IP but some of them are either behind a firewall or are dialuped ones.
How can my JMS application running on the central server communicate with these servers and send data across.
Does JMS support data transfer across firewall ?
suneesh.

Answer 1

JMS is simply a collection of classes and interfaces defined by Sun that provide a consistent way of publishing and consuming data via topics and queues. JMS does not define how security, firewalls, management and a whole host of other really important stuff should be handled.
For these important features you need to look at specific implementations. There are free implementations as well as a large group of vendors all providing additional functionality on top of JMS.
As one of these vendors I would like to introduce you to Nirvana, our messaging solution delivering JMS 1.1 functionality.
Nirvana (http://www.my-channels.com/products/nirvana.html) has been designed to be deployed externally between an organization, its clients and its partners. It has been designed to accommodate both high and low speed connections ensuring that the lack of performance from one does not impact the other. It has been designed to traverse firewalls and proxy servers.
