Re: Message Inflow contract in a non-managed environment

Hi Stephen,
        The spec does not specifically talk about message inflow in a
non-managed environment - because as you pointed out - there are no MDBs in
a non-managed environment.

>>So, what would act as the endpoint in the
>>non-managed enviroment?

POJOs , implementing the message listener interface. So you would need a
POJO container which supports this.

I guess that the contract can be 'made to apply' in an NME not for MDBs but
for other Java objects which are message listener implementations. In
addition, there must be an implementation of the MessageEndpointFactory and
related interfaces for hooking into the RA.
