For details, see the Hello World JMS example. The example is the same as the standard Hello World tutorial, with the addition of local proxy classes that handle the JMS connection. Because this application already uses asynchronous messaging, it's straight-forward to use the JMS proxies.

Xholon has been tested with two open-source JMS implementations:
