Get an instance of the Red Hat JBoss A-MQ connection factory.

Depending on the environment, the application can create a new instance of the connection factory or use JNDI, or another mechanism, to look up the connection factory.

Use the connection factory to create a connection.

Get an instance of the destination used for sending or receiving messages.

Destinations are administered objects that are typically created by the broker. The JBoss A-MQ allows clients to create destinations on-demand. You can also look up destinations using JNDI or another mechanism.

Use the connection to create a session.

The session is the factory for creating producers and consumers. The session also is a factory for creating messages.

Use the session to create the message consumer or message producer.

Start the connection.
