I am currently evaluating JMS and I don't get what I could use it for.

Currently, I believe this would be a Usecase: I want to create a SalesInvoice PDF and print it when an SalesOrder leaves the Warehouse, so during the Delivery transaction I could send a transactional print request which just begins when the SalesOrder transaction completes successfully.

Now I found out most JMS products are standalone server.

  • Why would a need a Standalone Server for Message Processing, vs. e.g. some simple inproc processing with Quartz scheduler?
  • How does it interact with my application?
  • Isn't it much too slow?
  • What are Usecases you already implemented successfully?
