JMS migration from WLS to JBoss 4

[nitin_bit]

Hi,
We are migrating a J2EE application (involving JMS/MDB) from Weblogic 7 to JBoss 4. The setup on weblogic uses Queue, Connection factory, JMS server, JDBC Message store.
We have been able to create Queue on JBoss using jbossmq-destinations-service.xml and we tried to create Connection factory in jms-ds.xml as :

<no-tx-connection-factory>
<jndi-name>PBOLogQueueConnectionFactory</jndi-name>
<rar-name>jms-ra.rar</rar-name>
<connection-definition>org.jboss.resource.adapter.jms.JmsConnectionFactory</connection-definition>
<config-property name="SessionDefaultType" type="java.lang.String">javax.jms.Queue</config-property>
<max-pool-size>20</max-pool-size>
<security-domain-and-application/>
</no-tx-connection-factory>

But our remote client says the factory is not bound as :

Testing JMS log queue by sending a test message...javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: PBOLogQueueConnectionFactory not bound
at org.jnp.server.NamingServer.getBinding(NamingServer.java:491)
at org.jnp.server.NamingServer.getBinding(NamingServer.java:499)
at org.jnp.server.NamingServer.getObject(NamingServer.java:505)
at org.jnp.server.NamingServer.lookup(NamingServer.java:278)
at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke0(Native Method)
at sun.reflect.NativeMethodAccessorImpl.invoke(NativeMethodAccessorImpl.java:39)

Now our query is :
a) why is ConnectionFactory not found by client ?
b) how to declare/configure JDBC Message-store and JMS server in JBoss ? Could not find any xml-based way to do so.

look in the jndi tree in the webconsole to see if the PBOLogQueueConnectionFactory is in there. Could be that you ran into the (to?) flexible jndi naming usage of WLS. JBoss is more strict so the actual name could be something different than you think.
