## Interface Queue

- All Superinterfaces:
    Destination
  All Known Subinterfaces:
    TemporaryQueue
  All Known Implementing Classes:
    BasicQueue, Queue

      public interface Queue
      extends Destination

  A `Queue` object encapsulates a provider-specific queue name. It is the way a client specifies the identity of a queue to JMS API methods. For those methods that use a `Destination` as a parameter, a `Queue` object used as an argument. For example, a queue can be used to create a `MessageConsumer` and a `MessageProducer` by calling:
  - `Session.CreateConsumer(Destination destination)`
  - `Session.CreateProducer(Destination destination)`

  The actual length of time messages are held by a queue and the consequences of resource overflow are not defined by the JMS API.

  Since:
    JMS 1.0
  See Also:
    `Session.createConsumer(Destination)`, `Session.createProducer(Destination)`, `Session.createQueue(String)`, `QueueSession.createQueue(String)`
