Configuring a Lifecycle Callback Method for an EJB 3.0 MDB

You can specify an EJB 3.0 message-driven bean class method as a callback method for any of the following lifecycle events (see "Using Annotations"):

• Post-construct: a method called before the first message listener method invocation on the bean. This is at a point after which any dependency injection has been performed by the container.

• Pre-destroy: a method called at the time the bean is removed from the pool or destroyed.

The message-driven bean class method must have the following signature:

public void <MethodName>()

For more information, see "Callback Methods".

@MessageDriven
public class MessageLogger implements MessageListener
{
    @Resource javax.ejb.MessageDrivenContext mc;

    public void onMessage(Message message)
    {
    ....
    }

    @PostConstruct
    public void initialize()
    {
        // Initialization logic
    }
...
}
