Distribute JavaBean Events Across Java Virtual Machines

The JavaBean event model provides simple messaging, but it works only within a Java virtual machine (JVM). JMS allows you to send messages across a network to other JVMs, but it is quite complex. This article presents a quicker, simpler solution: transparently distributing JavaBean events over JMS.

s a Java developer, sooner or later you will build a Java application that needs to communicate with another Java application. You can write Java network I/O code or use the Java Message Service (JMS) API to facilitate this communication. However, I've found both these approaches error prone and time consuming--I often had to rewrite and debug similar I/O or JMS code. So I came up with a better way, one as easy as coding to the JavaBean event model.
