Thats because they aren't in there :) All that JMS does is provide the API, leaving the *how* of the message delivery up to the provider (with certain constraints). As for what providers impement those non-TCP socket based protocols, I've been playing around with jbossMQ (which has their UIL protocol for 'polling' style connections) and openJMS (which has the HTTP connector). Other commercial JMS implementations do have the SMTP and FTP transports, but IBM's MQSeries and TIBCO both cost USD10k+. jbossMQ: http://www.jboss.org/developers/projects/jboss/jbossmq.jsp openJMS: http://openjms.sourceforge.net/ Once fred can function with JMS (though it doesn't need to be merged into the main branch or anything), I'm going to start working on one of the open source JMS providers to implement some of the transports that aren't already available (like SMTP or maybe even IRC). At the very least, any bundled JMS provider would be free software (jbossMQ is GPL, openJMS is BSD-style). I don't actually think Sun has their own JMS implementation (though they may). > http://www.jxta.org/project/www/docs/DomainFAQTech.html#firewalls While I've never used JXTA (and it sounds like Scott Miller has), what they're describing at that link is exactly the sort of functionality that Freenet will need at some point (IMHO sooner rather than later). We could either build it into Fred as a seperate transport (along with all the other transports to deal with different network layouts), or we could build it into some JMS implementation. > Please ignore this mail in case it's absolutely useless for > the Freenetproject.

JMS probably won't be integrated into Fred until after 1.0, but it is being worked on currently (it'll take a while to complete).
