session bean and jms connections

[Keristufer Blaze]

Can a session bean connection and jms connection for a message driven bean share the same connection to a client? I'm developing a desktop application that makes direct method calls on a session bean to make updates on the server and receives messages from the server at random times through JMS. I need the server to be able to accept as many clients as possible. Will using both a session bean and jms connection at the same time for each client reduce the total number of clients possible? Would it be better to implement everything with just JMS and a message message driven bean?
Thanks.
