Message-Driven POJOs is a detailed blog entry by Craig Walls which explores the Spring-based, JMS, 'message-driven POJOs' available as part of the ActiveMQ codebase. This code effectively tries to replicate EJB MDB functionality, in plain java objects configured via Spring.

Update 2005-7-22: part 2, Message-driven POJOs revisited, is now available. 

Colin's note: while this code is part of the ActiveMQ codebase, when talking to James Strachan in mid-May 2005 about it, James mentioned that while the code has been used and tested mostly with ActiveMQ, there is nothing inherently ActiveMQ-specific about it. Usage with other JMS servers will at a minimum require testing and verification.
