No Bean Spring JMS with IBM MQ

Question

Is it possible to get messages from an IBM MQ (synchronously or asynchronously) using Spring JMS alone - without using any Bean?

I am looking for a design where I can get messages from an MQ (IBM in this case) using Spring alone - process the message and pass it on.

Kindly suggest if it is possible. Thank you.

You can just use a JmsTemplate (synchronous) or DefaultMessageListenerContainer (asynchronous) directly, without declaring them as beans; be sure to call afterPropertiesSet() after setting the properties and before start() ing the container, though.
