And I will explain the Christopher Walken referneces before the CodeRanch sheriffs kick us out for tomfoolery!!!

Coderanch moderations tends to be more relaxed for book promotions, so, I wouldn't worry too much about being "kicked out"...

On the other hand, as an FYI. there are eligibility rules, so, some posts may not be considered as an entry for the book drawing.

I don't know why IBM has the option to use JMS APIs without JNDI -- perhaps it is because many of their customer apps don't use Java. Regardless, you may be correct, in that JMS may also not be configured and registered properly. Working with Websphere has always been an area that I depended on an Administrator for...  

Omkar Puli wrote:i have similar problem and would like to get your feedback

Basically, JNDI for Websphere is not configured by default -- so when you encounter such an error, it may be a good idea to talk to your Websphere administrator. My administrator fixed it, the last few times that this happened.

I think there is a miscommunication.
The compiler will look at the "add()" and verify it is a type of BigCat.
When it looks at the declaration of the list, it will determine what kind of list. Please see my post again.

            List<? extends BigCat> list = new ArrayList<Lion>();

Unfortunately, the compiler is not able to determine the type of the list object. It must follow the Java Specification and there isn't any part of it that allows it to figure it out based on the assignment. Also, just because you can figure it out in your example, it doesn't mean that the specification can be done to allow the compiler to figure it out in all cases. For example, what if you changed the assignment to a method parameter? In that case, you won't be able to figure out the original type -- so, how do you expect the compiler to figure it out?

Based on what exactly can we say that Kafka supports pub/sub. For producer-consumer I know, but for pub-sub?

Pub/Sub is the classic topic based messaging -- meaning every subscriber on the topic gets every message from every publisher on the  same topic. Producer/Consumer is the classic queue based messaging -- meaning all the messages from all the producers are queued, and then any message will only be delivered to only one consumer.

Pub/Sub are generally used for stuff like market data, where everyone needs to see everything. And queuing is good for stuff like orders, where only one consumer should be processing the order. Using the stock market as an example, when you want to see if you would like to buy/sell a stock, you want to see all executed trades on all markets to decide at what price you want to buy/sell at. However, when you actually buy or sell the stock, you only want one of the markets to take the order -- since you only want to make one trade.

IIRC, I thought Kafka supported both.

Monica Shiralkar wrote:It is based on producer consumer pattern, where consumer subscribes to a topic and listens to it, and when producer produces message to that topic, it gets consumed by the consumer. What else should I be learning on Kafka?

This is very pedantic, but important to not get wrong. Apologies if you already know this.

In messaging, there is a difference between a producer and publisher, and also between a consumer and subscriber. Publishers and subscribers work with topics. And producers and consumers work with queues. Interestingly, I believe Kafka works with both -- so, you may confuse your colleagues, if you mix terms.

Messages on topics are seen by every subscriber -- meaning as a subscriber on a topic, you will see all messages from the publishers. Messages on queues are supposed to be delivers to only one consumer -- meaning as a consumer you will see a mix of messages from the producers (that is supposed to be unique to you). There is also rules on redelivery, if you don't acknowledge in time. Also, many brokers/managers can translate between topics and queues, so it can get more confusing.
