Spring and Asynchronous messaging

[spring04]

I've been using Spring for the past 2+ weeks and was able to develop a prototype application to convince my boss to use Spring in our forthcoming project.

In our project (which is a NON-WEB application), we'll have the need to send messages asynchronously. In the typical J2EE environment, we can use MDB. I'm not clear how similar or different it would be if we had to have asynchronous messaging using Spring. I would greatly appreciate if someone can answer the following question or point me to reference material.

If i have my Spring/Hibernate application deployed on JBoss, how will i develop MDB and integrate it with Spring/JBoss. Is there any sample code for this?

Thanks!

Can you clarify? You use MDBs for asynchronous message consumption.

We are not currently using MDB but planning to use and exploring various options for asynchronous messaging.

Yes we would like to receive (consume) messages asynchronously.

Thanks!
