3. Agenda • News • What Is JMS? • Perils and Promise of JMS • Talarian’s JMS • Talarian and Sun Partnership

4. News Two Exciting Java Announcements

5. News • Talarian announces partnership with Sun • First MOM licensee of J2EE • First to use “JMS” in product name • Series of joint seminars on JMS • Talarian is introducing the leading implementation of the Java Messaging Service (JMS) into the market • Fastest and most scalable JMS on the market

6. What Is JMS? How JMS Fits into the Java Platform

7. Java Product Groups • J2SE (Java 2 Standard Edition) • Basic Java 2 SDK, tools, runtimes, and APIs for deploying, and running applets and applications in Java • J2EE (Java 2 Enterprise Edition) • Enterprise-class server side applications • J2ME (Java 2 Micro Edition) • A highly optimized Java runtime environment targeting a wide range of consumer products

8. J2EE Technologies Technologies and APIs for building and deploying enterprise-class server applications. • Enterprise Javabeans • Java Server Pages • Java Servlet • J2EE Connector • JNDI • IDL (for interoperability with CORBA) • Java Message Service • Also a new Enterprise bean type • JavaMail • Transactions (JTA, JTS) • JDBC

9. What Is JMS? • Vendor neutral (standard) API that enables Java programs to communicate asynchronously via messages • Publish-subscribe and point-to-point (queuing) • Component of J2EE • http://java.sun.com/j2ee/ • Developed with “support and encouragement” of many enterprise messaging vendors • Further information available: • http://java.sun.com/products/jms/docs.html • Spec, source, javadoc, jar, sample programs • http://java.sun.com/products/jms/faq.html • FAQ (both general and technical questions)

10. The Promise of JMS • “Messaging for the masses” • Could have similar impact that SQL had on databases • Similar to JDBC (which all vendors now support) • First enterprise messaging API to achieve wide industry support (standard) • Simplifies development of enterprise applications (ease of use) • Leverages existing enterprise-proven messaging systems (implementation) • Easy to write portable messaging based business applications (write once, run anywhere)

11. The Perils of JMS • Views world as “Java centric” • Complexity of code • Design by committee • Limited performance • Can’t multi-thread a session • No buffering • Message servers in Java • No monitoring • No end-to-end security • No interoperability testing • No JMS certification (coming Q3 2001 from Sun)

12. Talarian and Sun Details on Partnership

13. Talarian and Sun Partnership • Talarian is first MOM vendor to become Sun J2EE licensee • Talarian and Sun will do a Worldwide Seminar Series on JMS in Q2 2001 • Talarian only vendor to use JMS in product name • Workbench for JMS

14. Talarian’s JMS The Industry’s 1st Enterprise JMS

15. Talarian’s World-Class Customers

19. Why Is Our JMS so Fast? • Talarian’s product are deployed in the world’s highest performing applications: • NYSE, CBOE, PHLX, Nasdaq, MCI, … • 10+ years experience • Message buffering • Message routers written in C/C++ • SmartSockets is first JMS enabling communication over both unicast and multicast • Unicast: use when communication is 1-1, over a WAN, over Internet, or where network is not multicast enabled • Multicast: use when high fan-out required, 1-to-many, over controlled network; works well over satellite + terrestrial

20. Unicast and Multicast Subscriber SSL Subscriber SmartSockets Cloud Subscriber TCP Multicast Publisher Subscriber Subscriber TCP Subscriber Subscriber

21. Talarian’s JMS Packaging • Workbench for JMS • Developer Edition • Low cost, get going quickly, web download • Smaller applications • SmartSockets JMS • Enterprise Edition • Fully fault tolerant and scalable • Takes advantage of full SmartSockets infrastructure • Interfaces for C, C++, Active-X, …

23. Product Rollout • In beta now • March, 2001, Version 1.0

24. Summary • JMS will do for messaging what SQL did for databases • Talarian announces partnership with Sun • First MOM licensee of J2EE • Series of joint seminars on JMS • Talarian is introducing the leading implementation of the Java Messaging Service (JMS) into the market • Draws on our 10+ years experience • Fastest and most scalable JMS on the market
