MessageDrivenBean automatically triggered or manually starte

[thoste]

Assume I deployed successfully a MDB.
Then I sent some JMS messages from another SessionBean to a JmsTopic
but the consuming MDB currently does not fetch the topic messages. Absolut no reaction from the MDB can be observed.

The question: Does the MDB automatically recognize that there are some messages waiting for it
or do I have to start the MDB manually before the MDB can inspect the topic stream?

The MDB is called after deployment when a matching message is recognized.
Is your MDB properly deployed? Is the message propertly sent to the topic (e.g. don't forget to commit transacted messages ;-) ? Is your MDB properly configured to receive the sent messages (e.g. message filter) ?
