How to declare an actual queue for a MDB ?

[monocongo]

I'm creating my first Message-Driven EJB and confused as to how the queue that I'll listen to is specified in JBoss. I have looked at both the "Getting Started" and "JBoss Administration and Development" guides and neither of these tell you how to make JBoss aware of an actual queue. For example there doesn't appear to be any information on how you specify the queue's host, name, port, or owner. I can declare that the MDB will listen to a queue in ejb-jar.xml, and declare the destination-jndi-name in jboss.xml, but it's not clear how I specify where the actual queue which maps to these is located.

Can anyone clarify this process for me ?

Thanks in advance for any feedback.

One point I should add is that I am not using JBossMQ for my queue, I am using an Oracle Advanced Queue.

JBoss's MDB has nothing to do with JBossMQ.

You declare the queue by adding destination-jndi-name to your mdb in jboss.xml
see docs/jboss-3.2.dtd for more info

[monocongo]

The jboss-3.2.dtd gives no applicable information other than that the destination-jndi-name exists for MDBs, which I was already aware of (see my original post). What is not clear is how JBoss can make the connection between the JNDI name I specify in the destination-jndi-name entry and the actual queue which is being provided by an Oracle database. From what I can tell the destination-jndi-name entry just gives JBoss a logical name of where to look in JNDI for the queue that the MDB should listen on, but it does nothing in the way of actually binding a queue to that JNDI name. Isn't this what I need to do next ?

Thanks in advance for any insight.

i believe the answers you are looking for can be found here:

http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=43817

1/2 way down the first page you will see an post for configuring an mdb to connect to a remote queue, and on page 2 at the top, you will find information on connecting to oracle in specific. [/url]
