JMS resource scopes

JMS resources can be deployed in the Geronimo server with three different scopes. These are as follows:

• Server-wide: The resource is available across all of the applications and services that are deployed on the server instance. The resource can therefore be referenced and utilized by any application or service.

• Application-scoped: The resource is available across all of the modules and services that make up an enterprise application. The resource can be accessed by other applications that have an application declaring the resource as their direct or indirect parent.

• Application client-scoped: Application clients run in a client container in a JVM instance separate from the server instance, and they do not have access to server resources. Therefore, application clients can have their own resource adapters to connect to the message broker, and these can be used to access JMS resources in the client scope.
