Q&A
| Q1: | What files do I need to write for a message-driven bean? |
| A1: | Unlike other enterprise beans, message-driven beans consist of enterprise bean class and deployment descriptors. They do not provide home or component interfaces. |
| Q2: | Can a message-driven bean contain a state that's specific to a client? |
| A2: | A message-driven bean can't contain a state that is specific to a client. However, the instance variables of the message-driven bean instance can contain a state across the handling of client messages. Examples of such a state include socket connections, database connections, and references to EJBObject. |
