hi
I have one doubt, does weblogic server has built in JMS Server or we require a separate JMS Server( like Websphere MQ etc.) while working on messagiing application.

Hello,
Weblogic has it support for JMS. Which version your speaking about. Sure it is from version 6.1

hi
I know weblogic supports JMS API from version6.1 onward. Actually I do not have idea whether weblogic server can do all the thing that a messaging server like IBM Websphere MQ( formerly MQ Series) can do.
I mean if one is creating a messaging application for that weblogic will act that as application server and messaging server or we need a separate messaging server for it.
Thanx

Starting with J2EE 1.3, all full-fledged J2EE Application Server were required to have built-in JMS Providers. WebLogic actually has a very good JMS Provider (with clustering and failover support) so you can definitely write a JMS Application to run on WLS.
