Creating a message-driven bean using the wizard

You can use the Create Message-Driven Bean wizard to create a message-driven bean in your EJB project.

1. In the Java™ EE perspective, right-click your EJB Project, and select File > New > Message-Driven Bean . The Create Message-Driven wizard appears.
2. In the Project field, ensure that your EJB Project name appears.
3. In the Folder field, select the source folder for the new bean.
4. In the Java package field, type the package name for the new bean.
5. In the Class name field, type the name that you want to assign to the session bean. By convention, bean names should begin with an uppercase letter.
   Note: You can use Unicode characters for the bean name, but Unicode characters are not supported for enterprise bean packages and classes associated with enterprise beans.
6. In the Superclass field, Browse to find a Superclass to add to your Session bean.
7. In the Destination Name field, type the name of your message destination.
8. In the JMS field, Select JMS if you want to use Java Messaging Service, and in the Destination Type field, select the type of destination.
