JMS usage question

[Stanczak Group]

I seem to be confused at what type of client should uses JMS as a 
communication platform. For example you have a Tomcat web server with a 
custom application. Clients use their web browser to access that web 
application. Does JMS fit in this same model? What I mean is can I use 
JMS (ActiveMQ) as my Tomcat server? Some documents talk like it would 
be, yet others seem to focus on internal communication between 
applications. Like it's not designed for public client access like HTTP. 
Can someone help me clear my confusion here? I guess what I'm looking 
for is something like OpenFire that allows many clients to connect at 
once. I'm building a rich client and need a good communication platform.
