Steps to use MDB ?

[perroinmaui]

Hi,

I have developed a Message driven bean, and it deploys fine. I have also created a queue which the bean is supposed to receive messages from.

I also deployed a jboss.xml file where I tell the server that my bean is going to listen to my queue.

Now, I create a client and send a message to the queue, but the bean never receives the message.

THe onMessage method never wakes up. What am I doing wrong?

I am using jboss 3.2.1.

Here is my jboss.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<enterprise-beans>

<ejb-name>ejb/MailMessageBean</ejb-name>
<local-jndi-name>MailMessageBean</local-jndi-name>
<jndi-name>MailMessageBean</jndi-name>


<message-driven>
<ejb-name>MailMessageListenerMDB</ejb-name>
<destination-jndi-name>queue/emailQueue</destination-jndi-name>
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>jms/ConnectionFactory</res-ref-name>
<jndi-name>java:/ConnectionFactory</jndi-name>
</resource-ref>
<resource-ref>
<res-ref-name>ejb/MailMessageBean</res-ref-name>
<jndi-name>MailMessageBean</jndi-name>
</resource-ref>
</message-driven>

</enterprise-beans>

Thanks

Do you see the message in the queue?

Try undeploying the mdb and connect
a QueueBrowser to the queue after the send.

Two things.

1) you are right there seems to be no messages on the queue, even though the queue seems to be created just fine.

2) I found that the MDB didn't deploy ok. I got a NameNotFoundException.

See this is my problem; I have no problem staying up all night to get this to work, but there is no place I can look at that can tell me how this thing is suppossed to work. I am just guessing, and it is making me mad.
Sorry, need to vent.

THanks.
