Who creates destination Queueor Topic

[Deepak Jain]

3) I have a JMS MDB that is a listener for a destination of type Queue named "ShippingRequestQueue" as shown below.

@MessageDriven(
messageListenerInterface=MessageListener.class,
description="Shipping Request Message consumer.",
name="ShippingRequestMessageConsumer",
mappedName="ShippingRequestMessageConsumer",
activationConfig = {
@ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destinationType", propertyValue = "javax.jms.Queue"),
@ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destination", propertyValue = "jms/ShippingRequestQueue") })
public class ShippingRequestProcessorMDB implements MessageListener , SessionBean{
private Connection connection;
 
private DataSource dataSource;
 
@Resource
private MessageDrivenContext context;
 
......
 
}

If you observe in this above code there is a property defined as destination which has "jms/ShippingRequestQueue", this
property indicates that this JMS MDB is listening for messages on Queue named "jms/ShippingRequestQueue". Now my
question is
a) Who created this destination in this case Queue ?
b) Did EJB Container while deploying the MDB creates these Queue/Topic [destination] by reading the above property?

You create the Queue and assign it a JNDI name and deploy it to your JMS provider.
