Connection Factories

A client must connect to a running instance of the EMS server to perform any JMS operations. A connection factory is an object that encapsulates the data used to define a client connection to an EMS server. The minimum factory parameters are the type of connection and the URL for the client connection to the EMS server.

A connection factory is either dynamically created by the application or obtained from a data store by means of a naming service, such as a Java Naming and Directory Interface (JNDI) server or a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) server.
