Building Scalable Server Architecture With PTP Queuing

A typical use of PTP messaging is to build a scalable and reliable server architecture. Both 4GL and non-4GL clients send requests to a JMS queue on a broker. 4GL servers remove messages from the queue, execute the requests, and reply to the clients. Reliability is provided since requests and replies do not get lost in case of a system failure. Scalability is achieved by providing an increasing number of 4GL servers as the number of clients and the rate of requests increases.

For an example, see the "Achieving Scalable Server Architecture With PTP Queuing" section in Using the SonicMQ Adapter."
