examples. After writing my own test programs, I only achieved

100 messages per second through Sun's J2EE server.

I searched the web for something to tell me whether IBM or

BEA's websphere products provided faster message handling.

Our product is a Stock Market live data feed. Our J2SE API

gets us 3000 msgs/sec through TCP/IP, so 100 msgs per second is

not feasable.

So, about the book. I had hoped to find suggestions as to

how to optimize JMS throughput. Chapter 7, "Deployment Considerations"

should have provided some help. It asked more questions than it

answered and offered no specific solutions.

Overall, I got a little more out of the book than I did reading Sun's

Java site and tutorial.
