Configuring a listener port
Use this task to browse or change the properties of an existing listener port, which is used by message-driven beans associated with the port to retrieve messages.
Before you begin
If you want to use message-driven beans with a messaging provider that does not have a JCA Version 1.5 or 1.6 resource adapter, you cannot use activation specifications and therefore you must configure your beans against a listener port. There are also a few scenarios in which, although you could use activation specifications, you might still choose to use listener ports. For example, for compatibility with existing message-driven bean applications.
About this task
A listener port defines the association between a connection factory, a destination, and a deployed message-driven bean. This association enables deployed message-driven beans associated with the port to retrieve messages from the destination. For more information, see Message-driven beans - listener port components.
When you deploy an enterprise application to use message-driven beans with listener ports, you can browse or change the configuration of a listener port.
