MDB deployment problem "Unable to create activation spec ra=

[kanto]

Hi, im using JBOSS 4.0.4GA server version.
I tried to make some basic MDB bean.
This is my code for MDB:

package beans;

import javax.ejb.ActivationConfigProperty;
import javax.ejb.MessageDriven;
import javax.ejb.TransactionManagement;
import javax.ejb.TransactionManagementType;
import javax.jms.Message;
import javax.jms.MessageListener;

@MessageDriven(activationConfig= {
 @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName="destinationType", propertyValue="javax.jms.Topic"),
 @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName="destination", propertyValue="topic/testTopic"),
 @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName="acknowledgeMode", propertyValue="AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE"),
 })
 @TransactionManagement(value=TransactionManagementType.BEAN)
public class TestBean implements MessageListener {

 public void onMessage(Message arg0) {
 System.out.println( arg0.toString() );
 }

}

this is content of my bean.jar file

META-INF/
META-INF/MANIFEST.MF
META-INF/ejb-jar.xml
beans/
beans/TestBean.class

this is my ejb-jar.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ejb-jar version="2.1"
 xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee
 http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/j2ee/ejb-jar_2_1.xsd">
 <enterprise-beans>
 <message-driven>
 <ejb-name>MDB</ejb-name>
 <ejb-class>beans.TestBean</ejb-class>
 <transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>
 </message-driven>
 </enterprise-beans>
</ejb-jar>

after deploying beans.jar to JBOSS i get following error

22:57:51,077 WARN [ServiceController] Problem starting service jboss.j2ee:jar=Beans.jar,name=MDB,service=EJB3

Thanks in advance

In Jboss 4.0.5GA this problem still occures.. Is it a bug or a human failure. Can any body post a work around or solution please ?

Hmmm...it appears that the resource adapter name is not being set correctly. Can you tell me what version of EJB3 you are using? Also, I am not sure why are using annotations and a ejb-jar.xml file. Typically you would only use the XML configuration if there was something you needed to override.

The reason I ask is that you have different transaction attributes in your annotation and your XML file. In the former you specify you want BMT and in the latter CMT.

To explicitly set the resource adapter name you can (depending on your EJB3 version)

1) Use the @ResourceAdapter annotation
2) Use the <resource-adapter> element in a jboss.xml file.

For JMS, this should be set automatically to the jms-ra.rar. However, I don't believe older version of EJB3 did this by default.

I've have similar problem overriding MDB activation config through XML.
It gives me the instance not found exception with JBoss 4.0.4 but seems to work with JBoss 4.2.0GA.
