Re: confused with using a JCA to connect to a JMS provider or usual connection factory definition way

The J2EE CA connector for an MQ is used for when you want to receive
messages, not send.
The advantages are that you can use an MDB to process messages, and
thereby get the EJB container's benefits: security, transactions,
multi-threaded processing, etc.
