Learn how to use JXTA technology to integrate thin Java 2 Platform, Micro Edition (J2ME) clients into enterprise-scale messaging applications by developing a set of classes that let you integrate J2ME clients into JMS (Java Message Service) applications running on Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition (J2EE) servers.

In this two-part series, Faheem Khan demonstrates how to use JXTA technology to integrate thin J2ME clients into enterprise-scale messaging applications. While working through this series, you will develop a set of classes that enable you to integrate J2ME clients into JMS applications running on J2EE servers. This article discusses the basic architecture of a typical messaging application and introduces two application scenarios in which you would need to integrate these clients. It also introduces JXTA and explains how to use the JXTA framework to integrate thin clients into JMS applications.
