Type
Organizing context for message activity.
Sessions combine several roles:
The JMS specification restricts programs to use each session within a single thread.
The same single-thread restriction applies to objects associated with a sessionnamely, messages, message consumers, durable subscribers, message producers, queue browsers, and temporary destinations (however, static and dynamic destinations are exempt from this restriction).
One consequence of this rule is that all the consumers of a session must deliver messages in the same modeeither synchronously or asynchronously.
In asynchronous delivery, the program registers message handler events or message listeners with the session’s consumer objects. An internal dispatcher thread delivers messages to those event handlers or listeners (in all the session’s consumer objects). No other thread may use the session (nor objects created by the session).
In synchronous delivery, the program explicitly begins a thread for the session. That thread processes inbound messages and produces outbound messages, serializing this activity among the session’s producers and consumers. Functions that request the next message (such as tibemsMsgConsumer_Receive
) can organize the thread’s activity.
The only exception to the rule restricting session calls to a single thread is the function tibemsSession_Close
; programs can call Close
from any thread at any time.
A session has either transaction or non-transaction semantics. When a program specifies transaction semantics, the session object cooperates with the server, and all messages that flow through the session become part of a transaction.
tibemsSession_Commit
, the session acknowledges all inbound messages in the current transaction, and the server delivers all outbound messages in the current transaction to their destinations.tibemsSession_Rollback
, the session recovers all inbound messages in the current transaction (so the program can consume them in a new transaction), and the server destroys all outbound messages in the current transaction.
After these actions, both Commit
and Rollback
immediately begin a new transaction.
