Deploying 2 MDB with same EJB Name into different EJB Jars f

[gquintana]

Hello,

In my JBoss 4.0.1RC2, I have set up 2 applications (2 EARs). Both of them have their own EJBs. Both of them contains an MDB which is differently implemented and located in a different packages but has the same ejb-name ExempleMessage in the ejb-jar.xml.

On deploy time, I get the following error:

Initialization failed jboss.j2ee:module=MyrabelCommunication.jar,service=EjbModule
javax.management.InstanceAlreadyExistsException: jboss.j2ee:jndiName=local/ExempleMessage,service=EJB already registered.

JBoss wants to bind both MDBs with a default JNDI name local/ExempleMessage and this is bad.

I had to change the EJB name in one of the EARs.

I this a bug or feature?

Its a configuration issue. You have to configure the deployments to have unique local jndi names using the jboss.xml descriptor since the default is taken from the ejb-name.

Thanks for your help Scott,

But why should I give these EJBs a local JNDI name: since they are message-driven they shouldn't be bound to the JNDI registry at all, should they?

I think I am missing something...
