Programming to use asynchronous messaging

This page describes things to consider when designing an enterprise application to use the JMS API directly for asynchronous messaging.

We can build enterprise beans that use the JMS API directly to provide messaging services along with methods that implement business logic. An enterprise application can explicitly poll for messages on a JMS destination then retrieve messages for processing by business logic beans (enterprise beans).

We can also use message-driven beans (a type of enterprise bean defined in the EJB specification) as asynchronous message consumers. A message-driven bean is invoked by the EJB container when a message arrives at the destination that it is configured to use, without an application having to explicitly poll the destination.
