Message Inflow contract in a non-managed environment

Hi,

I have a question about the Message Inflow contracts in JCA 1.5. Does the
Message Inflow contract provide for the possibility of using a JCA Resource
Adapter in a non-managed environment?

Most of the specs, documentation, articles that I read talk about using
Message Driven Beans as the endpoints for the asynchronous messages coming
from the Resource Adapter. However, in the non-managed environment you would
not have any Message Driven Beans. So, what would act as the endpoint in the
non-managed enviroment?

Chapter 12 of the JCA 1.5 spec says that the Message Inflow contract "allows
a resource adapter to asynchronously deliver messages to message endpoints
residing in the application server". Does this imply that in a non-managed
environment (without an application server) that this contract does not
apply?

Regards,
Stephen
