Realistic situations where Message Queues should be applied?

Realistic situations where Message Queues should be applied?

So, I am a junior Java developer for a small to medium company and during our development, my 1 up has said we should really have a JMS system.

Now during my degree and the little googling I could do, I have a rough idea of how they work and am aware of implementations and frameworks that implement them.

The main issue I am having is grasping realistic situations where they can be applied. To clarify what I mean, a part of me says, use them for everything that accesses the db so that you are always providing feedback and just have the front end keep checking.

In a realistic sense that doesn't sound practical. I've been having some difficulties sourcing good materials that cover Messaging queues, and wonder if anyone can provide a concise way of summing them up, or point the way to a decent source that gives a good thorough explanation.
