JMS Destination

When a message is sent, it is addressed to a destination, not to a specific application. Any application that subscribes or registers an interest in that destination can receive that message. Depending on the JMS messaging model used, the destination is called a topic or a queue. In the publish-subscribe model, a message is published for many subscribers to a topic (destination). In the point-to-point model, one message is sent to one potential receiver using a queue (destination).
