Two problems using MDBs in JBoss 7.0.1

[borisha]

Hi everyone,

two problems when porting application from AS6 to AS7

1)

I am not able to inject MessageDrivenContext into MDB (JBoss 7.0.1-Final):

This does not work:

@Resource

private MessageDrivenContext ctx;

I am getting exception

Can't handle @Resource for ENC name: com.test.testMDB/ctx on class com.test.testMDB since it's missing a "lookup" (or "mappedName") value and isn't of any known type

but this

@Resource

private EJBContext ctx;

does work. This looks strange and probably should be fixed. In AS6 both approaches worked fine.

2)

jboss.xml does not work for defining what queue/topic MDB is listening to. I have to put this information in annotations on MDBs. This is workaround for now but definitely should be fixed. I was not able to find info whether jboss.xml is still valid configuration file for AS7.

thanks

1. AS7-1783

2. You should be able to use activation config properties in ejb-jar.xml. Also keep an eye on AS7-1211.

Thanks a lot Carlo. I'll try ejb-jar.xml.

The only unclear thing I have is: will jboss.xml still be around in AS7 (for partitioning and load-balancing configuration)? I could not find any documentation about this topic.

thanks
