MessageDrivenBean (Jakarta EE Web Profile API)

All Superinterfaces:

EnterpriseBean, Serializable
```
public interface MessageDrivenBean
extends EnterpriseBean
```
The MessageDrivenBean interface defines methods that the enterprise bean container uses to notify a message driven bean instance of the instance's life cycle events.
As of EJB 3.0 it is no longer required that a message driven bean class implement this interface.

Since:

EJB 2.0
