Jake,
I too was interested in exactly how JMS would tie into EJB. I recently
downloaded the EJB 2.0 public draft from Sun's website, and I am now
enlightened. In all actuality, they have introduced a new type of bean that
can be a consumer of JMS events. It is up to this bean what to do when
called. The mechanism is very simple and straightforward. You should read
the chapter in the spec.
