Can a MBean be a TopicListener?

[commondialog]

Currently, I have an MBean which kicks off a thread whenever a scheduler tells it to do so (I have one MBean calling another.)

I would rather have the scheduler be an MBean that uses JMS to send a message when an event has triggered and have a MDB or TopicListener receive the message and act upon it.

So, can a MBean listen to a topic OR can a MDB kick off threads (a no-no for Session and Entity Beans.)

Thanks.

An MDB cannot be reentrant. So that answers one of my questions.

So the real question remains, can an MBean be a TopicListener?

Yes.
