Deploying an enterprise application to use EJB 2.0 message-driven beans with listener ports

Use this task to deploy an enterprise application to use EJB 2.0 message-driven beans with listener ports.

Overview

Although you can continue to deploy an EJB 2.0 message-driven bean against a listener port (as in WebSphere Application Server V5), you are recommended to deploy such beans as 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 EJB 2.0 message-driven beans, that can be deployed in WebSphere Application Server.

To deploy an enterprise application to use EJB 2.0 message-driven beans with listener ports, complete the following steps:

Procedure

1. Use the WebSphere Application Server administrative console to define the listener ports for the application, as described in Adding a new listener port.

2. For each message-driven bean in the application, configure the deployment attributes to match the listener port definitions, as described in Configuring deployment attributes.

3. Use the WebSphere Application Server administrative console to install the application.

   This stage is a standard WebSphere Application Server task, as described in Installing a new application.

   When you install the application, you are prompted to specify the name of the listener port that the application is to use for late responses. Select the listener port, then click OK.
