Using message-driven beans in applications

Why and when to perform this task

WebSphere Application Server supports asynchronous messaging as a method of communication based on the Java Message Service (JMS) programming interface.

Message-driven beans (a type of enterprise bean defined in the EJB 2.0 specification) extend the base JMS support and the Enterprise JavaBean component model to provide automatic asynchronous messaging. When a message arrives on a destination, a listener passes the message to a new instance of a user-developed message-driven bean for processing.

You can use WebSphere Studio Application Developer to develop applications that use message-driven beans. You can use the WebSphere Application Server runtime tools, like the administrative console, to deploy and administer applications that use message-driven beans.
