[MWy] Middleware labs assignment 3: Apr 07 10:40

[Vlastimil Babka]

Good evening,

the third lab class will be held this Wednesday for the group 'Středa 
liché týdny' as stated in the subject and the other groups will follow 
according to the schedule on the web of the course.

The topic will be Java Messaging Service (JMS). We therefore recommend 
to familiarize yourself with the assignment, examples, the 
infrastructure needed to execute the solution, and the skeleton of the 
solution that you can use (which is bigger than usual). For easier 
development, an Eclipse workspace will be provided containing both the 
examples and the skeleton implementation - using e.g. Netbeans is also 
of course possible.

The JMS implementation we will use is ActiveMQ 5.2.0. The following URL 
contains a reasonably configured distribution (listens only on TCP port 
61616, doesn't use broadcast and doesn't require JNDI).

http://dsrg.mff.cuni.cz/~ceres/sch/mwy/download/ActiveMQ-5.2.0.tar.gz

The archive on the following URL:

http://dsrg.mff.cuni.cz/~ceres/sch/mwy/download/as3.zip

contains the assignment, slides, examples, skeleton solution 
(Input-Files) and a workspace in the 'eclipse' directory containing 
again the examples and skeleton solution (As3).
There are two examples - one that is really trivial and meant mostly to 
get the environment working, the second is larger and shows a practical 
JMS usage. Both examples and the skeleton solution assume that ActiveMQ 
from the link above is unpacked into the ~/ActiveMQ directory, but you 
may also override the $ACTIVEMQ_HOME variable in the scripts with a 
different path.

Best Regards,
