You now have the tools to build the back-end of almost any enterprise application you may come across, and apply your knowledge to most of the problems you will encounter in the enterprise Java space. In the next chapter, though, I want to move beyond the basics into the less-used realm of the Java Message Service (and specifically, message-driven beans). Although it is still somewhat unusual to see these kinds of beans in action, you will find that JMS offers several attractive features. I’ll detail these and how they can help in asynchronous tasks in the next chapter, which focuses specifically on messaging in enterprise applications.
