public interface Session
extends java.lang.Runnable, java.lang.AutoCloseable
Session
object is a single-threaded context for producing and consuming messages. Although it may allocate
provider resources outside the Java virtual machine (JVM), it is considered a lightweight Jakarta Messaging object.
A session serves several purposes:
TemporaryTopics
and TemporaryQueues
.
Queue
or Topic
objects for those clients that need to dynamically
manipulate provider-specific destination names.
QueueBrowsers
.
A session can create and service multiple message producers and consumers.
One typical use is to have a thread block on a synchronous MessageConsumer
until a message arrives. The
thread may then use one or more of the Session
's MessageProducer
s.
If a client desires to have one thread produce messages while others consume them, the client should use a separate session for its producing thread.
Once a connection has been started, any session with one or more registered message listeners is dedicated to the
thread of control that delivers messages to it. It is erroneous for client code to use this session or any of its
constituent objects from another thread of control. The only exception to this rule is the use of the session or
message consumer close
method.
It should be easy for most clients to partition their work naturally into sessions. This model allows clients to start simply and incrementally add message processing complexity as their need for concurrency grows.
The close
method is the only session method that can be called while some other session method is being
executed in another thread.
A session may be specified as transacted. Each transacted session supports a single series of transactions. Each transaction groups a set of message sends and a set of message receives into an atomic unit of work. In effect, transactions organize a session's input message stream and output message stream into series of atomic units. When a transaction commits, its atomic unit of input is acknowledged and its associated atomic unit of output is sent. If a transaction rollback is done, the transaction's sent messages are destroyed and the session's input is automatically recovered.
The content of a transaction's input and output units is simply those messages that have been produced and consumed within the session's current transaction.
A transaction is completed using either its session's commit
method or its session's rollback
method.
The completion of a session's current transaction automatically begins the next. The result is that a transacted
session always has a current transaction within which its work is done.
The Java Transaction Service (JTS) or some other transaction monitor may be used to combine a session's transaction
with transactions on other resources (databases, other Jakarta Messaging sessions, etc.). Since Java distributed transactions are
controlled via the Java Transaction API (JTA), use of the session's commit
and rollback
methods in
this context is prohibited.
The Jakarta Messaging API does not require support for JTA; however, it does define how a provider supplies this support.
Although it is also possible for a Jakarta Messaging client to handle distributed transactions directly, it is unlikely that many Jakarta Messaging clients will do this. Support for JTA in the Jakarta Messaging API is targeted at systems vendors who will be integrating the Jakarta Messaging API into their application server products.

When client acknowledgment mode is used, a client may build up a large number of unacknowledged messages while attempting to process them. A Jakarta Messaging 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.

This method must not return until any incomplete asynchronous send operations for this Session have been completed and any CompletionListener callbacks have returned. Incomplete sends should be allowed to complete normally unless an error occurs.
A CompletionListener callback method must not call commit on its own Session. Doing so will cause an IllegalStateException to be thrown.

Since a provider may allocate some resources on behalf of a session outside the JVM, clients should close the resources when they are not needed. Relying on garbage collection to eventually reclaim these resources may not be timely enough.
There is no need to close the producers and consumers of a closed session.
This call will block until a receive
call or message listener in progress has completed. A blocked message
consumer receive
call returns null
when this session is closed.
However if the close method is called from a message listener on its own Session
, then it will either fail
and throw a jakarta.jms.IllegalStateException
, or it will succeed and close the Session
, blocking until
any pending receive call in progress has completed. If close succeeds and the acknowledge mode of the Session
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 Session
because this is not portable.
This method must not return until any incomplete asynchronous send operations for this Session 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 this session'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 transacted session must roll back the transaction in progress.
This method is the only Session
method that can be called concurrently.
A CompletionListener callback method must not call close on its own Session. Doing so will cause an IllegalStateException to be thrown.
Invoking any other Session
method on a closed session must throw a IllegalStateException
. Closing a
closed session must not throw an exception.

If a shared non-durable subscription already exists with the same name and client identifier (if set), and the same
topic and message selector value has been specified, then this method creates a MessageConsumer
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
topic or message selector has been specified, and there is a consumer already active (i.e. not closed) on the
subscription, then a JMSException
will be thrown.
There is no restriction on durable subscriptions and shared non-durable subscriptions having the same name and clientId (which may be unset). Such subscriptions would be completely separate.

The use of provider-specific queue names in an application may render the application non-portable. Portable
applications are recommended to not use this method but instead look up an administratively-defined Queue
object using JNDI.
Note that this method simply creates an object that encapsulates the name of a queue. It does not create the physical
queue in the Jakarta Messaging provider. Jakarta Messaging does not provide a method to create the physical queue, since this would be specific
to a given Jakarta Messaging 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.

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 Jakarta Messaging 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 TopicSubscriber
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 JMSException
will be thrown.
If an unshared durable subscription already exists with the same name and client identifier but a different topic,
message selector or noLocal
value has been specified, and there is no consumer already active (i.e. not
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 JMSException
is thrown.
There is no restriction on durable subscriptions and shared non-durable subscriptions having the same name and clientId. Such subscriptions would be completely separate.
This method is identical to the corresponding createDurableConsumer
method except that it returns a
TopicSubscriber
rather than a MessageConsumer
to represent the consumer.

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 TopicSubscriber
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 JMSException
will be thrown.
If an unshared durable subscription already exists with the same name and client identifier but a different topic,
message selector or noLocal
value has been specified, and there is no consumer already active (i.e. not
closed) on the durable subscription then this is equivalent to unsubscribing (deleting) the old one and creating a
new one.
If noLocal
is set to true then any messages published to the topic using this session's connection, or any
other connection with the same client identifier, will not be added to the durable subscription.
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 JMSException
is thrown.
There is no restriction on durable subscriptions and shared non-durable subscriptions having the same name and clientId. Such subscriptions would be completely separate.
This method is identical to the corresponding createDurableConsumer
method except that it returns a
TopicSubscriber
rather than a MessageConsumer
to represent the consumer.

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 Jakarta Messaging 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.

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 for the subscription, or while a consumed message is part of a pending transaction or has not been acknowledged in the session.
