I’m wondering, why not use Session Beans instead of Message Driven Beans ?

If you can call remote methods from EJBs, so why bother sending/receiving messages with Message Driven Beans (which is more difficult to develop than session beans) ?

In which scenarios Message Driven Beans become useful ?

    I’m wondering, why not use Session Beans instead of Message Driven Beans ?

    Hmm, they don’t serve the same purpose, message-driven beans allow Java EE applications to process messages asynchronously.

    If you can call remote methods from EJBs, so why bother sending/receiving messages with Message Driven Beans (which is more difficult to develop than session beans) ?

    Because MDBs give you asynchronism and loose coupling, which is something you might want/need in some situations:

    • for long running jobs
    • when resources are not always available
    • when you want to parallelize processing

    By the way, I’ve personally always found MDBs to be the easiest Enterprise Beans to develop.

    In which scenarios Message Driven Beans become useful ?

    See above.
