How is synchronous communication achieved with a JMS connector?

Synchronous communication with a JMS connector is achieved by requiring the sender to wait for a response after sending a message. This means that the process involves sending a request and expecting a reply before proceeding. When you publish a message, if the sending application is designed to wait for a response (or acknowledgment) from the receiving application before continuing its operations, it creates a synchronous communication pattern.

In this scenario, when a message is published in a synchronous manner, the sender is actively waiting for a response, effectively blocking further execution until a reply is received. This is essential for use cases where confirmation or data from the message recipient is needed before continuing with other tasks.

Other options describe different aspects of message handling or architectural patterns. For example, consuming messages from a queue relates to asynchronous message consumption where the sender does not wait for an immediate response. Allowing multiple responses at once suggests an asynchronous interaction where responses can be handled independently, and utilizing event-driven architecture typically signifies a reactive approach rather than a synchronous wait for a response.
