public interface JMSContext
extends java.lang.AutoCloseable
JMSContext
is the main interface in the simplified JMS API introduced for JMS 2.0. This combines in a
single object the functionality of two separate objects from the JMS 1.1 API: a Connection
and a
Session
.
When an application needs to send messages it use the createProducer
method to create a JMSProducer
which provides methods to configure and send messages. Messages may be sent either synchronously or asynchronously.
When an application needs to receive messages it uses one of several createConsumer
or
createDurableConsumer
methods to create a JMSConsumer
. A JMSConsumer
provides methods to
receive messages either synchronously or asynchronously.
In terms of the JMS 1.1 API a JMSContext
should be thought of as representing both a Connection
and a
Session
. Although the simplified API removes the need for applications to use those objects, the concepts of
connection and session remain important. A connection represents a physical link to the JMS server and a session
represents a single-threaded context for sending and receiving messages.
A JMSContext
may be created by calling one of several createContext
methods on a
ConnectionFactory
. A JMSContext
that is created in this way is described as being
application-managed. An application-managed JMSContext
must be closed when no longer needed by calling
its close
method.
Applications running in the Java EE web and EJB containers may alternatively inject a JMSContext
into their
application using the @Inject
annotation. A JMSContext
that is created in this way is described as
being container-managed. A container-managed JMSContext
will be closed automatically by the container.
Applications running in the Java EE web and EJB containers are not permitted to create more than one active session on a connection so combining them in a single object takes advantage of this restriction to offer a simpler API.
However applications running in a Java SE environment or in the Java EE application client container are permitted to
create multiple active sessions on the same connection. This allows the same physical connection to be used in
multiple threads simultaneously. Such applications which require multiple sessions to be created on the same
connection should use one of the createContext
methods on the ConnectionFactory
to create the first
JMSContext
and then use the createContext
method on JMSContext
to create additional
JMSContext
objects that use the same connection. All these JMSContext
objects are application-managed
and must be closed when no longer needed by calling their close
method.

method. Acknowledging a consumed message acknowledges all messages that the session has consumed.
When this session mode is used, a client may build up a large number of unacknowledged messages while attempting to process them. A JMS provider should provide administrators with a way to limit client overrun so that clients are not driven to resource exhaustion and ensuing failure when some resource they are using is temporarily blocked.

to some internal error.void setClientID(java.lang.String clientID)
The preferred way to assign a JMS client's client identifier is for it to be configured in a client-specific
ConnectionFactory
object and transparently assigned to the Connection
object it creates.
Alternatively, a client can set the client identifier for the JMSContext's connection using a provider-specific
value. The facility to set its client identifier explicitly is not a mechanism for overriding the identifier that has
been administratively configured. It is provided for the case where no administratively specified identifier exists.
If one does exist, an attempt to change it by setting it must throw an IllegalStateRuntimeException
. If a
client sets the client identifier explicitly, it must do so immediately after it creates the JMSContext and before
any other action on the JMSContext is taken. After this point, setting the client identifier is a programming error
that should throw an IllegalStateRuntimeException
.
The purpose of the client identifier is to associate the JMSContext's connection and its objects with a state maintained on behalf of the client by a provider. The only such state identified by the JMS API is that required to support durable subscriptions.
If another connection with the same clientID
is already running when this method is called, the JMS provider
should detect the duplicate ID and throw an InvalidClientIDException
.
This method must not be used in a Java EE web or EJB application. Doing so may cause a JMSRuntimeException
to
be thrown though this is not guaranteed.
This method must not be used if the JMSContext
is container-managed (injected). Doing so will cause a

void setExceptionListener(ExceptionListener listener)
If a JMS provider detects a serious problem with a connection, it informs the connection's ExceptionListener
,
if one has been registered. It does this by calling the listener's onException
method, passing it a
JMSRuntimeException
object describing the problem.
An exception listener allows a client to be notified of a problem asynchronously. Some connections only consume messages, so they would have no other way to learn their connection has failed.
A connection serializes execution of its ExceptionListener
.
A JMS provider should attempt to resolve connection problems itself before it notifies the client of them.
This method must not be used in a Java EE web or EJB application. Doing so may cause a JMSRuntimeException
to
be thrown though this is not guaranteed.

- if the JMS provider fails to start message delivery due to some internal error.stop()
void stop()
start
method. When the connection is stopped, delivery to all the connection's message consumers is
inhibited: synchronous receives block, and messages are not delivered to message listeners.
Stopping a connection has no effect on its ability to send messages. A call to stop
on a connection that has
already been stopped is ignored.
A call to stop
must not return until delivery of messages has paused. This means that a client can rely on
the fact that none of its message listeners will be called and that all threads of control waiting for
receive
calls to return will not return with a message until the connection is restarted. The receive timers
for a stopped connection continue to advance, so receives may time out while the connection is stopped.
If message listeners are running when stop
is invoked, the stop
call must wait until all of them have
returned before it may return. While these message listeners are completing, they must have the full services of the
connection available to them.
However if the stop method is called from a message listener on its own JMSContext
, or any other
JMSContext
that uses the same connection, then it will either fail and throw a
javax.jms.IllegalStateRuntimeException
, or it will succeed and stop the connection, blocking until all other
message listeners that may have been running have returned.
Since two alternative behaviors are permitted in this case, applications should avoid calling stop
from a
message listener on its own JMSContext
, or any other JMSContext
that uses the same connection,
because this is not portable.
For the avoidance of doubt, if an exception listener for the JMSContext's connection is running when stop
is
invoked, there is no requirement for the stop
call to wait until the exception listener has returned before
it may return.
This method must not be used in a Java EE web or EJB application. Doing so may cause a JMSRuntimeException
to
be thrown though this is not guaranteed.

void close()
This closes the underlying session and any underlying producers and consumers. If there are no other active (not closed) JMSContext objects using the underlying connection then this method also closes the underlying connection.
Since a provider typically allocates significant resources outside the JVM on behalf of a connection, clients should close these resources when they are not needed. Relying on garbage collection to eventually reclaim these resources may not be timely enough.
Closing a connection causes all temporary destinations to be deleted.
When this method is invoked, it should not return until message processing has been shut down in an orderly fashion.
This means that all message listeners that may have been running have returned, and that all pending receives have
returned. A close terminates all pending message receives on the connection's sessions' consumers. The receives may
return with a message or with null, depending on whether there was a message available at the time of the close. If
one or more of the connection's sessions' message listeners is processing a message at the time when connection
close
is invoked, all the facilities of the connection and its sessions must remain available to those
listeners until they return control to the JMS provider.
However if the close method is called from a message listener on its own JMSContext
, then it will either fail
and throw a javax.jms.IllegalStateRuntimeException
, or it will succeed and close the JMSContext
. If
close
succeeds and the session mode of the JMSContext
is set to AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE
, the current
message will still be acknowledged automatically when the onMessage call completes.
Since two alternative behaviors are permitted in this case, applications should avoid calling close from a message
listener on its own JMSContext
because this is not portable.
This method must not return until any incomplete asynchronous send operations for this JMSContext have been completed and any CompletionListener callbacks have returned. Incomplete sends should be allowed to complete normally unless an error occurs.
For the avoidance of doubt, if an exception listener for the JMSContext's connection is running when close
is
invoked, there is no requirement for the close
call to wait until the exception listener has returned before
it may return.
Closing a connection causes any of its sessions' transactions in progress to be rolled back. In the case where a
session's work is coordinated by an external transaction manager, a session's commit
and rollback
methods are not used and the result of a closed session's work is determined later by the transaction manager.
Closing a connection does NOT force an acknowledgment of client-acknowledged sessions.
Invoking the acknowledge
method of a received message from a closed connection's session must throw an
IllegalStateRuntimeException
. Closing a closed connection must NOT throw an exception.
A CompletionListener callback method must not call close on its own JMSContext. Doing so will cause an IllegalStateRuntimeException to be thrown.
This method must not be used if the JMSContext
is container-managed (injected). Doing so will cause a
IllegalStateRuntimeException
to be thrown.

Note that this method simply creates an object that encapsulates the name of a queue. It does not create the physical
queue in the JMS provider. JMS does not provide a method to create the physical queue, since this would be specific
to a given JMS provider. Creating a physical queue is provider-specific and is typically an administrative task
performed by an administrator, though some providers may create them automatically when needed. The one exception to
this is the creation of a temporary queue, which is done using the createTemporaryQueue
method.

applications are recommended to not use this method but instead look up an administratively-defined Topic
object using JNDI.
Note that this method simply creates an object that encapsulates the name of a topic. It does not create the physical
topic in the JMS provider. JMS does not provide a method to create the physical topic, since this would be specific
to a given JMS provider. Creating a physical topic is provider-specific and is typically an administrative task
performed by an administrator, though some providers may create them automatically when needed. The one exception to
this is the creation of a temporary topic, which is done using the createTemporaryTopic
method.

A durable subscription is used by an application which needs to receive all the messages published on a topic, including the ones published when there is no active consumer associated with it. The JMS provider retains a record of this durable subscription and ensures that all messages from the topic's publishers are retained until they are delivered to, and acknowledged by, a consumer on this durable subscription or until they have expired.
A durable subscription will continue to accumulate messages until it is deleted using the unsubscribe
method.
This method may only be used with unshared durable subscriptions. Any durable subscription created using this method
will be unshared. This means that only one active (i.e. not closed) consumer on the subscription may exist at a time.
The term "consumer" here means a TopicSubscriber
, MessageConsumer
or JMSConsumer
object in
any client.
An unshared durable subscription is identified by a name specified by the client and by the client identifier, which must be set. An application which subsequently wishes to create a consumer on that unshared durable subscription must use the same client identifier.
If an unshared durable subscription already exists with the same name and client identifier, and the same topic,
message selector and noLocal
value has been specified, and there is no consumer already active (i.e. not
closed) on the durable subscription then this method creates a JMSConsumer
on the existing durable
subscription.
If an unshared durable subscription already exists with the same name and client identifier, and there is a consumer
already active (i.e. not closed) on the durable subscription, then a JMSRuntimeException
will be thrown.
If an unshared durable subscription already exists with the same name and client identifier but a different topic,

closed) on the durable subscription then this is equivalent to unsubscribing (deleting) the old one and creating a
new one.
A shared durable subscription and an unshared durable subscription may not have the same name and client identifier.
If a shared durable subscription already exists with the same name and client identifier then a

There is no restriction on durable subscriptions and shared non-durable subscriptions having the same name and clientId. Such subscriptions would be completely separate.

If a shared non-durable subscription already exists with the same name and client identifier (if set), and the same
topic and message selector has been specified, then this method creates a JMSConsumer
on the existing
subscription.
A non-durable shared subscription is used by a client which needs to be able to share the work of receiving messages
from a topic subscription amongst multiple consumers. A non-durable shared subscription may therefore have more than
one consumer. Each message from the subscription will be delivered to only one of the consumers on that subscription.
Such a subscription is not persisted and will be deleted (together with any undelivered messages associated with it)
when there are no consumers on it. The term "consumer" here means a MessageConsumer
or JMSConsumer
object in any client.
A shared non-durable subscription is identified by a name specified by the client and by the client identifier (which may be unset). An application which subsequently wishes to create a consumer on that shared non-durable subscription must use the same client identifier.
If a shared non-durable subscription already exists with the same name and client identifier (if set) but a different

This method deletes the state being maintained on behalf of the subscriber by its provider.
A durable subscription is identified by a name specified by the client and by the client identifier if set. If the client identifier was set when the durable subscription was created then a client which subsequently wishes to use this method to delete a durable subscription must use the same client identifier.
It is erroneous for a client to delete a durable subscription while there is an active (not closed) consumer on that subscription, or while a consumed message is part of a pending transaction or has not been acknowledged in the session.
If the active consumer is represented by a JMSConsumer
then calling close
on either that object or
the JMSContext
used to create it will render the consumer inactive and allow the subscription to be deleted.
If the active consumer was created by calling setMessageListener
on the JMSContext
then calling
close
on the JMSContext
will render the consumer inactive and allow the subscription to be deleted.
If the active consumer is represented by a MessageConsumer
or TopicSubscriber
then calling
close
on that object or on the Session
or Connection
used to create it will render the
consumer inactive and allow the subscription to be deleted.

This method is for use when the session has an acknowledgement mode of CLIENT_ACKNOWLEDGE. If the session is transacted or has an acknowledgement mode of AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE or DUPS_OK_ACKNOWLEDGE calling this method has no effect.
This method has identical behaviour to the acknowledge
method on Message
. A client may individually
acknowledge each message as it is consumed, or it may choose to acknowledge messages as an application-defined group.
In both cases it makes no difference which of these two methods is used.
Messages that have been received but not acknowledged may be redelivered.
This method must not be used if the JMSContext
is container-managed (injected). Doing so will cause a

to be thrown.
