problem with MDB bind on topic

[ebasley]

When i deploy a mdb bean (topic) with the following descriptors with jboss 3.2.0 :

ejb-jar.xml :
<message-driven >
<![CDATA[]]>
<ejb-name>ExecutionReportProcessor</ejb-name> <ejb-class>pm.mdb.ExecutionReportProcessorBean</ejb-class>
<transaction-type>Container</transaction-type> <acknowledge-mode>Auto-acknowledge</acknowledge-mode>
<message-driven-destination>
<destination-type>javax.jms.Topic</destination-type>
<subscription-durability>Durable</subscription-durability>
</message-driven-destination>
<resource-ref >
<res-ref-name>jms/TopicFactory</res-ref-name>
<res-type>javax.jms.TopicConnectionFactory</res-type>
<res-auth>Container</res-auth>
</resource-ref>
</message-driven>

jboss.xml:

<message-driven>
<ejb-name>ExecutionReportProcessor</ejb-name> <destination-jndi-name>topic/aremTopic</destination-jndi-name>
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>jms/TopicFactory</res-ref-name>
<jndi-name>java:/JmsXA</jndi-name>
</resource-ref>
</message-driven>

I get the message :
org.jboss.mq.SpyJMSException: Cannot subscribe to this Destination: null; - nested throwable: (java.lang.NullPointerException)
at org.jboss.mq.Connection.addConsumer(Connection.java:1094)
at org.jboss.mq.SpyConnectionConsumer.(SpyConnectionConsumer.java:73)

where as the destination is binding inside jndi, we can use it from an external client.

It can't be a typo pb, because I use xdocklet.
If I replace the Topic by a Queue everything is ok !!

Does anyone know what is wrong ?

Compare yours with the testsuite

ejb-jar.xml
<ejb-name>DurableTopicBean</ejb-name>
<ejb-class>org.jboss.test.mdb.bean.TopicBean</ejb-class>
<message-selector></message-selector>
<transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>

<message-driven-destination>
<destination-type>javax.jms.Topic</destination-type>
<subscription-durability>Durable</subscription-durability>
</message-driven-destination>
</message-driven>

jboss.xml
<message-driven>
<ejb-name>DurableTopicBean</ejb-name>
<destination-jndi-name>topic/testDurableTopic</destination-jndi-name>
<mdb-user>john</mdb-user>
<mdb-passwd>needle</mdb-passwd>
<mdb-subscription-id>DurableSubscriberExample</mdb-subscription-id>
</message-driven>
