Lightweight Messaging

I have always liked MDBs. But in a very recent project, which was entirely lightweight, I just did not want a EJB container in the frame. So, I looked around… Considered simple Java messaging and it was then that I bumped into MDPs!

MDPs are the Message Driven POJOs, Spring’s answer to JMS implementations and Asynchronous reception. It ships with a fantastic DefaultMessageListenerContainer and comes in 3 interface implementation options – Conventional JMS MessageListener, Session Aware Message Listener and the Message Listener Adapter. For details, so as to how you can get this up and running please refer -

Quick, seamless and bingo no EJB container! So, next time you need an Asynchronous infrastructure, give this implementation a thought
