You open this property editor from the Activation Config Property tab in the Message Bean pane of the sun-ejb-jar.xml visual editor. This dialog box enables you to specify properties to configure a message-driven bean to use a resource adapter for your message provider.
A wide-range of message providers, including JMS, can be plugged into a Java EE-compatible application server. Message providers use a resource adapter and dispatch messages to message endpoints, which are implemented as message-driven beans.
In this dialog box you can provide configuration information such as messaging-style-specific configuration details, and possibly message-provider-specific details. The message-driven bean deployer uses this configuration information to set up the activation specification JavaBean. These activation configuration properties override configuration properties in the activation specification definition in the ra.xml and ejb-jar.xml files.
The messaging-style-specific descriptor elements are not specified because they are specific to a messaging provider.
The following elements can be configured in the Property dialog box:
