Thank you so much Johnny for the idea. We have two web apps A and B namely. A is the front end of our application and B is the back end. Our application is web based, so we have a lot of https requests coming from the browser. We could have used a servlet for inter web app communication , but a servlet is visible to teh outside world. Our Messaging bus implemented using active mq is confined to the JVM and is not accessible to the out side world. The Web app A and Web app B have to keep each other updated and in sycn with respect to the mutual changes .They do it via the JMS Messaging Bus implemented using active MQ.
