Hi Neha,
It is not clear from your post regarding the application server you are using as the steps could vary a little for different servers.
There is a little administration part involved as well.
As far as writing an MDB is concerned it is fairly simple... Just create a class that implements javax.jms.MessageListener and provide the implementation for the onMessage(Message message) method.
If you are using
JEE 5 then you have an option to use annotations. If not then here's a sample ejb-jar.xml
