I have a high transaction backend that we are trying to get to the smallest response time as possible. I am using the JMS but I am finding that the negotiating with the JMS is actually taking up quite a bit of time. I am using the connectionfactory from java:/JmsXA which as I understand it is pulling from a pool. The issue seems to be with creating the session, destination, producer and then finally sending the message. I was thinking that I might be able to create a thread to handle all of this for me and reduce my response time to the JMS to almost 0. I also know that threads never seem to work the way you want them to i.e. deadlocks. Does any one have a thought on this subject or maybe a better solution.
