11.8 For Further Reading

If you're new to messaging, the patterns in this chapter should give you some ideas about how to incorporate messaging into your applications. Since this is a topic that deserves further discussion, we suggest the following resources.

Tutorials on the JavaMail and JMS APIs can be found in Java Enterprise in a Nutshell, Second Edition, by William Crawford, Jim Farley, and David Flanagan. Java Enterprise Best Practices by the O'Reilly Java Authors includes further discussion of advanced techniques with both APIs, and Java Message Service by Richard Monson-Haefel and David Chappell provides in-depth coverage of the JMS API. O'Reilly publishes all three books.

On the patterns front, Gregor Hohpe and Bobby Woolf maintain an excellent web site at http://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com/ which provides a comprehensive resource for enterprise programmers looking to learn about how to incorporate messaging into integration-centric applications.
