Open JMS with Tomcat

In a loosely coupled and asynchronous communication, an application sends a message, and then continues program execution without waiting for a response. The sending program might not even know where or what the recipient is, because the communication between software components takes place via messaging. The Java Messaging Service (JMS) is the only messaging API supported by J2EE.

OpenJMS, a SourceForge project, is a free open source implementation of Sun Microsystems' JMS API specification.
