### Connection Factory and Destination

A message-driven bean is a client to a Connector 1.5 inbound resource adapter. The message-driven bean container uses the JMS service integrated into the Application Server for message-driven beans that are JMS clients. JMS clients use JMS Connection Factory- and Destination-administered objects. A JMS Connection Factory administered object is a resource manager Connection Factory object that is used to create connections to the JMS provider.

The `mdb-connection-factory` element in the `sun-ejb-jar.xml`file for a message-driven bean specifies the connection factory that creates the container connection to the JMS provider.

The `jndi-name` element of the `ejb` element in the `sun-ejb-jar.xml` file specifies the JNDI name of the administered object for the JMS `Queue` or `Topic` destination that is associated with the message-driven bean.
