Building reactive applications using message-driven beans

The Java Messaging Service is one of the oldest Java EE APIs, and it's been reactive since day one: just read the manifesto linked in the introduction of this chapter.

This recipe will show you how to use message-driven beans, or MDBs, to deliver and consume asynchronous messages with just a few annotations.

Getting ready

Let's first add our Java EE 8 dependency:

    <dependency>
        <groupId>javax</groupId>
        <artifactId>javaee-api</artifactId>
        <version>8.0</version>
        <scope>provided</scope>
    </dependency>
