/** A client uses a <CODE>TopicPublisher</CODE> object to publish messages on a
* topic. A <CODE>TopicPublisher</CODE> object is the publish-subscribe form
* of a message producer.
*
* <P>Normally, the <CODE>Topic</CODE> is specified when a
* <CODE>TopicPublisher</CODE> is created. In this case, an attempt to use
* the <CODE>publish</CODE> methods for an unidentified
* <CODE>TopicPublisher</CODE> will throw a
* <CODE>java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException</CODE>.
*
* <P>If the <CODE>TopicPublisher</CODE> is created with an unidentified
* <CODE>Topic</CODE>, an attempt to use the <CODE>publish</CODE> methods that
* assume that the <CODE>Topic</CODE> has been identified will throw a
* <CODE>java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException</CODE>.
*
* <P>During the execution of its <CODE>publish</CODE> method,
* a message must not be changed by other threads within the client.
* If the message is modified, the result of the <CODE>publish</CODE> is
* undefined.
*
* <P>After publishing a message, a client may retain and modify it
* without affecting the message that has been published. The same message
* object may be published multiple times.
*
* <P>The following message headers are set as part of publishing a
* message: <code>JMSDestination</code>, <code>JMSDeliveryMode</code>,
* <code>JMSExpiration</code>, <code>JMSPriority</code>,
* <code>JMSMessageID</code> and <code>JMSTimeStamp</code>.
* When the message is published, the values of these headers are ignored.
* After completion of the <CODE>publish</CODE>, the headers hold the values
* specified by the method publishing the message. It is possible for the
* <CODE>publish</CODE> method not to set <code>JMSMessageID</code> and
* <code>JMSTimeStamp</code> if the
* setting of these headers is explicitly disabled by the
* <code>MessageProducer.setDisableMessageID</code> or
* <code>MessageProducer.setDisableMessageTimestamp</code> method.
*
*<P>Creating a <CODE>MessageProducer</CODE> provides the same features as
* creating a <CODE>TopicPublisher</CODE>. A <CODE>MessageProducer</CODE> object is
* recommended when creating new code. The <CODE>TopicPublisher</CODE> is
* provided to support existing code.
*
*<P>Because <CODE>TopicPublisher</CODE> inherits from
* <CODE>MessageProducer</CODE>, it inherits the
* <CODE>send</CODE> methods that are a part of the <CODE>MessageProducer</CODE>
* interface. Using the <CODE>send</CODE> methods will have the same
* effect as using the
* <CODE>publish</CODE> methods: they are functionally the same.
