# Connecting your JMS application
<a name="rabbitmq-tutorial-jms"></a>

 This tutorial shows you how to connect your JMS application to Amazon MQ for RabbitMQ broker using the RabbitMQ JMS client. You will learn how to create a producer to send messages and a consumer to receive messages from RabbitMQ queues. 

 Before you begin, add the appropriate RabbitMQ JMS dependency to your Maven project: 

 For JMS 1.1 and 2.0: 

```
<dependencies>

  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.rabbitmq.jms</groupId>
    <artifactId>rabbitmq-jms</artifactId>
    <version>2.12.0</version>
  </dependency>

</dependencies>
```

 For JMS 3.1: 

```
<dependencies>

  <dependency>
    <groupId>com.rabbitmq.jms</groupId>
    <artifactId>rabbitmq-jms</artifactId>
    <version>3.5.0</version>
  </dependency>

</dependencies>
```

## Create a producer
<a name="rabbitmq-tutorial-jms-producer"></a>

 The following code example shows how to write to a RabbitMQ queue using JMS: 

```
import jakarta.jms.*;
import com.rabbitmq.jms.admin.*;

// Setting the connection factory
RMQConnectionFactory factory = new RMQConnectionFactory();
factory.setHost(envProps.getProperty("RABBITMQ_HOST", "localhost"));
factory.setPort(Integer.parseInt(envProps.getProperty("RABBITMQ_PORT", "5672")));
factory.setUsername(envProps.getProperty("RABBITMQ_USERNAME", "guest"));
factory.setPassword(envProps.getProperty("RABBITMQ_PASSWORD", "guest"));
factory.setVirtualHost(envProps.getProperty("RABBITMQ_VIRTUAL_HOST", "/"));
factory.useSslProtocol();

connection = factory.createConnection();
connection.start();

String queueName = "test-queue-jms";
Session session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);

RMQDestination destination = new RMQDestination(queueName, true, false);

// Send the message to the queue
MessageProducer producer = session.createProducer(destination);
producer.setDeliveryMode(DeliveryMode.PERSISTENT);

String msg_content = "Hello World!!";
TextMessage textMessage = session.createTextMessage(msg_content);
producer.send(textMessage);

System.out.printf("Published to AMQP queue '%s': %s", queueName, msg_content);
```

## Create a consumer
<a name="rabbitmq-tutorial-jms-consumer"></a>

 The following code example shows how to read from a RabbitMQ queue using JMS: 

```
import jakarta.jms.*;
import com.rabbitmq.jms.admin.*;

// Setting the connection factory
RMQConnectionFactory factory = new RMQConnectionFactory();
factory.setHost(envProps.getProperty("RABBITMQ_HOST", "localhost"));
factory.setPort(Integer.parseInt(envProps.getProperty("RABBITMQ_PORT", "5672")));
factory.setUsername(envProps.getProperty("RABBITMQ_USERNAME", "guest"));
factory.setPassword(envProps.getProperty("RABBITMQ_PASSWORD", "guest"));
factory.setVirtualHost(envProps.getProperty("RABBITMQ_VIRTUAL_HOST", "/"));
factory.useSslProtocol();

// Establish the connection and session
jakarta.jms.Connection connection = factory.createConnection();

String queueName = "test-queue-jms";
Session session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);

RMQDestination destination = new RMQDestination();
destination.setDestinationName(queueName);
destination.setAmqp(true);
destination.setAmqpQueueName(queueName);

// Initialize consumer
MessageConsumer consumer = session.createConsumer(destination);
consumer.setMessageListener(message -> {
    try {
        if (message instanceof TextMessage) {
            TextMessage textMessage = (TextMessage) message;
            System.out.printf("Message: %s%n", textMessage.getText());
        } else if (message instanceof BytesMessage) {
            BytesMessage bytesMessage = (BytesMessage) message;
            byte[] bytes = new byte[(int) bytesMessage.getBodyLength()];
            bytesMessage.readBytes(bytes);
            String content = new String(bytes);
            System.out.printf("Message: %s%n", content);
        } else {
            System.out.printf("Message: [%s]%n", message.getClass().getSimpleName());
        }
    } catch (JMSException e) {
        System.err.printf("Error processing message: %s%n", e.getMessage());
    }
});

connection.start();
```
