[JBoss Messaging] - Re: Questions about topics in a cluster - jboss-user

Thursday, 7 June 2007

You're thinking of a queue.

With a queue, the message is only received by one consumer, with a topic it is received by
all subscribers.

Topics are a form of "publish / subscriber" messaging (you can google this for
more info)

Queues are a form of "point to point messaging".

The JMS spec also goes into more detail on this.
