Use this task to deploy an enterprise application to use EJB 2.1 or EJB 2.0 message-driven beans for use with a JCA 1.5-compliant resource adapter.
Why and when to perform this task
Message-driven beans can be configured as listeners on a Java Connector Architecture (JCA) 1.5 resource adapter, such as the default messaging provider in WebSphere Application Server.
You deploy EJB 2.1 message-driven beans against JCA 1.5-compliant resources, and configure the resources as deployment descriptor properties. Although you can continue to deploy an EJB 2.0 message-driven bean against a listener port (as in WebSphere Application Server version 5), you are recommended to deploy such beans against JCA 1.5-compliant resources and to upgrade them to be EJB 2.1 message-driven beans.
This task description assumes that you have an .EAR file, which contains an application enterprise bean with code for message-driven beans, that can be deployed to use the default messaging provider in WebSphere Application Server.
To deploy an enterprise application to use message-driven beans against JCA 1.5-compliant resources, complete the following steps:
Steps for this task
This stage is a standard WebSphere Application Server task, as described in Installing a new application.
