Queue (Jakarta EE Platform API)

All Superinterfaces:

Destination

All Known Subinterfaces:

TemporaryQueue
```
public interface Queue
extends Destination
```
A Queue object encapsulates a provider-specific queue name.
It is the way a client specifies the identity of a queue to Jakarta Messaging API methods. For those methods that use a Destination as a parameter, a Queue object used as an argument. For example, a queue can be used to create a MessageConsumer and a MessageProducer by calling:
- Session.CreateConsumer(Destination destination)
- Session.CreateProducer(Destination destination)
The actual length of time messages are held by a queue and the consequences of resource overflow are not defined by the Jakarta Messaging API.
Since:

JMS 1.0

Version:

Jakarta Messaging 2.0

Session.createConsumer(Destination), Session.createProducer(Destination), Session.createQueue(String), QueueSession.createQueue(String)
