mappedNameback to summary
public String mappedName()

A product specific name(e.g. global JNDI name of a queue) that this message-driven bean should be mapped to. Application servers are not required to support any particular form or type of mapped name, nor the ability to use mapped names. The mapped name is product-dependent and often installation-dependent. No use of a mapped name is portable.

messageListenerInterfaceback to summary
