JMSclient server architecture

Question

I know that different app servers can communicate with each other using JMS queues and JMS queue connection factories. Where the queue connection factories and queues have been created on the server side however I am wondering if you can communicate directly to a MDB from a desktop application. In case you can would there be a pre requisite of some JMS installation on the desktop or not? and what other constraints would there be?

Code would look something like this....I know it's messy it's just a utility I have
private final void setupQueueConnection()
        // Get the inital context
        try
            System.getProperties().setProperty( "org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialHost",
                "10.6.168.108" );
            System.getProperties().setProperty( "org.omg.CORBA.ORBInitialPort",
                "3700" );
            jndi = new InitialContext();
        catch ( NamingException e )
            System.out.println( "Could not create JNDI " + "context: "
                + e.toString() );
            cleanUp();
            System.exit( 1 );
        // Get a Queue Connection Factory and Queue
        try
            System.out
                .println( "Looking up the queue connection factory from JNDI :"
                    + queueFactoryName );
            conFactory = (QueueConnectionFactory) jndi
                .lookup( queueFactoryName );
            System.out.println( "Found the connection factory:"
                + conFactory.toString() );
            System.out.println( "Looking up the queue from JNDI :"
                + queueOutName );
            queueOut = (Queue) jndi.lookup( queueOutName );
            System.out.println( "Found the queue:" + queueOut.toString() );
        catch ( NamingException e )
            System.out.println( "JNDI lookup failed: " + e.toString() );
            e.printStackTrace();
            cleanUp();
            System.exit( 1 );
        try
            // Creating a QueueConnection to the Message service
            System.out.println( "Creating QueueConnection using the factory"
                + conFactory.toString() );
            connection = conFactory.createQueueConnection();
            System.out.println( "Starting the Connection" );
            connection.start();
            // Creating a session within the connection
            session = connection.createQueueSession( false,
                Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE );
            System.out.println( "Creating a QueueSender" );
            queueSender = session.createSender( queueOut );
        catch ( JMSException e )
            System.out.println( "An unexpected exception occurred: " + e );
            Exception linkedException = e.getLinkedException();
            if ( linkedException != null )
                System.out.println( "The linked exception is: "
                    + linkedException );
            e.printStackTrace();
            cleanUp();
            System.exit( 1 );
    }
