Document Message

How messaging can be used to transfer data between applications.

How messaging can be used to transmit events from one application to another.

Request-Reply

How an application that sends a message gets a response from the receiver.

How a replier knows where to send the reply.

How a requester that has received a reply knows which request the reply is for.

How messaging can transmit an arbitrarily large amount of data.

Message Expiration
