   Figure 7.9. Create EJB 3.x Message-Driven Bean Wizard

2. Specify class file destination details

   There are three sets of details to specify for the bean class here: Project, Java class, and message destination.

   Project

   • If multiple projects exist in the Workspace, ensure that the correct one is selected in the Project menu.
   • The folder where the source file for the new bean will be created is ejbModule under the selected project's directory. Only change this if you have a specific requirement.

   Java class

   • The required fields are: Java package and class name.
   • It is not necessary to supply a Superclass unless the business logic of your application requires it.

   Message Destination

   These are the details you must supply for a JMS-based Message-Driven Bean:

   • Destination name. This is the queue or topic name that contains the messages that the bean will respond to.
   • By default the JMS checkbox is selected. Do not change this.
   • Set Destination type to Queue or Topic as required.

   Click the Next button.

3. Enter Message-Driven Bean specific information

   The default values here are suitable for a JMS-based Message-Driven bean using Container-managed transactions.
   • Change the Transaction type to Bean if the Bean will use Bean-managed transactions.
   • Change the Bean name if a different bean name than the class name is required.
   • The JMS Message Listener interface will already be listed. You do not need to add or remove any interfaces unless they are specific to your applications business logic.
   • Leave the checkboxes for creating method stubs selected.
   Click the Finish button.
