/**
 * The DispatchMDBMessageListener is intended to be used as the

 * class is {@link DispatchMDBMessageListenerImpl}.
 * The benefit of using DispatchMDBMessageListener is that users
 * are not required to put the Service Endpoint Interface (SEI) in the resource
 * adaptor's deployment descriptor.  Thus, users can leave the <messagelistener-type>
 * as org.apache.cxf.jca.inbound.DispatchMDBMessageListener for any their endpoints.
