JBoss 3.2.2 -- MDB listening on wrong Queue

[mring33]

My Env:
* Win 2000 pro
* JBoss 3.2.2
* Sun's Java 1.4.2 SE

Problem:
I want my MDB (named DocumentVerifierBean) to listen on a queue called 'Apex/DocVerifierInbox' but instead it is responding to messages on 'DocumentVerifierBean'. Looks like JBoss is automatically creating this second queue and linking the MDB to it, despite my wishes otherwise. I have confirmed that both queues work, as I can send messages to both of them and watch both of their message counts increase (in the JMX console). I have included snippets of my config files below.

Any ideas? Should I just upgrade or downgrade JBoss versions?

ejb-jar.xml:

<message-driven>
 <description><![CDATA[DocumentVerifierBean EJB]]></description>
 <display-name>DocumentVerifierBean</display-name>
 <ejb-name>DocumentVerifierBean</ejb-name>
 <ejb-class>net.transolutions.apex.doc.verifier.DocumentVerifierBean</ejb-class>
 <transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>
 <message-selector></message-selector>
 <acknowledge-mode>AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE</acknowledge-mode>
 <message-driven-destination>
 <destination-type>javax.jms.Queue</destination-type>
 <subscription-durability>NonDurable</subscription-durability>
 </message-driven-destination>
 </message-driven>

jboss.xml:

<message-driven>
 <ejb-name>DocumentVerifierBean</ejb-name>
 <destination-jndi-name>queue/Apex/DocVerifierInbox</destination-jndi-name>
 <configuration-name>Standard Message Driven Bean</configuration-name>
 </message-driven>

Thank you.

Nothing stands out. This is probably a misconfiguration on your side. You should validate your XML document against the DTD just to make sure JBoss isn't mis-parsing your file.

JBoss 3.2.3 doesn't have fixes related to anything like this, but it doesn't hurt to upgrade.

Thanks for the reply.

Unfortunately, my jboss.xml file validates successfully against the 3.2 DTD.

I guess I'll have to play around a bit more with it. I'll post again once I find out more.

As the rest of my project's subsystems are being developed for JBoss 3.2.0, I have retried my MDB on 3.2.0, with the same negative results.

I've even tried changing the name of the queue (to apex-DVInbox), just in case JBoss didn't like the original name. Here's some log snippets:

It looks to me that the 'apex-DVInbox' queue is being created and bound before the temporary 'DocumentVerifierBean' queue is created, so that's not the problem.

Please, does anyone have any more insights?

I've looked at plenty of examples. My jboss.xml validates. I've even used MDBs in JBoss before (v3.0.x) and I don't remember having this problem.

Thanks.

This was fixed in the 3.2.1
The MDB no longer assumes all queues are directly in the queue/ namespace
