How does ConnectionFactory relate to the Broker?
The ConnectionFactory is a JMS specification client side interface for creating connections to a JMS broker. The Broker is a service on the network or embedded in the same JVM which provides the message provider. So think of the ConnectionFactory as the client API for sending and receiving messages and the broker is a server side implementation.
