I'm writing an application in which -

Many users can subsribe to posts made by another users.

So for a single publisher there can be many subscribers.

When a message is posted by an user X, all users who have subscribed to messages of User X will be sent an email.

How to achieve this ? I'm thinking of using publish-subscribe pattern.

And then I came through JMS. Which is the best JMS implementation to use according to your experience ?

Or else what else solution do you propose to the given problem ?

Shall I go for a straight-forward solution ?: User x posts a message, I find all users (from database) who subscribe to user x and then for every user, I call the sendEmail() method.

[EDIT] My intention here is not to send-emails. I'm really sorry if it wasn't clear. I also have to send kind of system-notifications apart from Email to all subscribers.

Right now, I've implemented the email-sending as a threadPool
