MDB in EAR doubt

Hi Ranchers,
I
I am having 2 ear applications(suppose sample1.ear & sample2.ear). Both are having web and ejb modules Both applications are having message driven beans of EJB 3.0. I deployed both of them in IBM websphere 7 server.
My Requirement is , sample1 has ejb session bean which access sample2 message driven bean.
what i did is , i added jar file of sample2.ear to sample1.ear and ran the application .but of no use. Please suggest me to work on this.

Thanks & Regards

Hi Vipul,
A session bean does not 'access' a message driven bean. A session bean can post a message to a topic/queue. If the MDB is registered to listen to this queue/topic, it will pick-up the message and do the processing.
This page from the tutorial shows how a client can send a message to a queue/topic.

Hi Ranganathan,

I didnot meant session bean access a message driven bean. I meant , session bean has IBM MQ server connection and queue connection code. I successfully sent a message to a MDB. But my requirement is different. Please check my post.

Hi Vipul,
I re-read your post. I am unable to infer anything different from what I understood earlier. Can you elaborate?

This is absolutely right. I am clear with this. My Issue is, In Sample1.ear , iam having a session bean which is sending messages to queue.queue is registered in IBM MQ server. that message has to reach MDB in sample2.ear. will it be possible? In my case iam unable to communicate with two different ears.

Thanks

If the MDB in the second ear listens to the queue that you are talking about, then, it will pick up the message. It doesn't matter where the message comes from.
