Message Driven Bean

Encyclopedia : M : ME : MES : Message Driven Bean

A Message Driven Bean (MDB) is an Enterprise JavaBean (EJB) similar to a session bean, except it responds to a JMS message rather than an RMI event. MDBs were introduced in the EJB 2.0 specification which is supported by Java 2 Platform, Enterprise Edition 1.3 or higher. The message bean represents the integration of JMS (Java Message Service) with EJB to create an entirely new type of bean designed to handle asynchronous JMS messages.
