Error migrating EJB2 app from 4.x to 6.x

[asheffey]

I'm migrating an app which uses EJB2 session beans and MDBs from JBoss 4.x to 6.x.  The session beans load fine, but the MDBs are throwing the following type of exception at deployment:

13:39:49,483 ERROR [AbstractKernelController] Error installing to Create: name=jboss.j2ee:jndiName=local/MyMDB@14856964,service=EJB state=Configured mode=Manual requiredState=Create: java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Message driven beans are not bound into remote jndi

Is there something in the jboss.xml configuration which I need to change?

[wdfink]

I suppose it works (without change) for JBoss4?

How do you create the MDB, use XDoclet?

Please attach the source of MDB and the relevant part of the descriptors.

Also the exact version of 4.x and 6.x might be helpful.  (I'm confused about the different versions in stacktrace, might be normal as I worked not with AS6)

What if you remove the MDB from your archive? Does it starts correct?

[asheffey]

Yes, built with XDoclet, and the same exact JAR deploys without issue on JBoss 4.0.2.  On 6.1.0 it throws the above error.  Without the MDBs, all is well on 6.

Here are some config snippets:

Figured out how to get the MDBs to deploy, by overwriting the jboss.xml snippet above with the example xml from standardjboss.xml.  Now the  issue is how to generate that proper xml from XDoclet.

[wdfink]

As I see you include the container-configuration in your jboss.xml.

You should not do such to be independent of container version.

Normaly this is by having a XDoclet merge directory with the config.
