Hi !

1) Network is not required to be available - it might be not well worded statement, which means that message consumer may be offline when message is sent, and this won't mean messsage lost (should be reliable subscription though).

2) Why Choices E is not correct. If this mock is for old version of SCEA, it assumed EJB 1.1, and probably MDB EJB was introduced later (EJB 2.0, IIRC).

I think E is incorrect because it really does not states a benefit of using Asynchronous messaging. maybe this could be rewritten as "The use of MDBs improves the portability of the asynchronous system" or "The use of MDBs as async solution improves the reliability because the server will manage the persistence of the incoming messages."
