Queues

A queue is a named object on which JMS applications can send messages, and from which JMS applications can receive messages.

Messages that are sent to a queue are stored on that queue until a consumer receives them. You must create a queue before a message can be sent to it. To create a queue you can either use the Amlen WebUI, or REST Administration APIs. For more information about creating queues, see Configuring message queues.

The application that sends messages to the queue does not need to be connected to the queue at the same time as the consumer application. Messages that are sent to the queue are stored until the consumer application receives them.

Messaging policies are used to authorize applications to send messages to queues, and receive messages from queues. For more information about message policies, see Creating and updating a messaging policy.
