JMS and last-mile integration

Java Message Service (JMS), also known as Jakarta Messaging, is a long-standing message-oriented middleware built on the Java API. Despite its age, JMS remains vital in sectors like banking and logistics, where it supports asynchronous messaging between distributed components and integrates seamlessly with established enterprise systems such as IBM MQ and ActiveMQ.

However, JMS wasn’t originally designed for direct internet access, especially when it comes to the “last mile”—the critical network segment extending beyond enterprise boundaries to reach end users. Effective last-mile integration is crucial for delivering real-time JMS messages to mobile, web, and desktop applications. This integration addresses significant challenges, including the lack of a web-based API, disruptions caused by corporate firewalls and client-side proxies, and performance issues arising from inconsistent internet bandwidth, packet loss, and disconnections.

Why choose the Lightstreamer JMS Connector?

The Lightstreamer JMS Connector serves as an intelligent proxy, seamlessly bridging JMS with the internet. Powered by Lightstreamer technology—the world’s leading last-mile data delivery platform—it streams data in real-time to your applications over WebSockets. With features like Intelligent Streaming, the Lightstreamer JMS Connector effortlessly extends your JMS topics and queues to web, mobile, and desktop platforms. Fully reliable, with no compromises.

Our main customers are logistics providers. There is a lot of groundwork to do, and to dynamically provide information to ground workers, we developed an Android application. The ground workers scan a label to receive information about the target area where they need to transport the cargo. The communication with the backend relies on JMS and is efficiently facilitated by the Lightstreamer JMS Connector.
