Deploying enterprise applications developed as message-driven beans
You can deploy an enterprise application developed as a message-driven bean in WebSphere® Application Server.
About this task
Message-driven beans can be used as asynchronous message consumers. When a message arrives at the destination, the EJB container invokes the message-driven bean automatically without an application having to explicitly poll the destination.
Procedure
- Deploy an enterprise application to use message-driven beans with JCA 1.5-compliant resources. You can configure message-driven beans as listeners on a Java EE Connector Architecture (JCA) 1.5 resource adapter, such as the default messaging provider or the IBM MQ messaging provider in WebSphere Application Server.
- Deploy an enterprise application to use message-driven beans with listener ports. Listener ports are stabilized. For more information, read the article on stabilized features. You should only deploy your application against a listener port for compatability with existing message-driven bean applications. Otherwise, you should deploy your application against JCA 1.5-compliant resources.
