JBoss 7.1: MDB not consuming ActiveMQ messages

[ned233]

Distribution:  jboss-as-7.1.0.Final-SNAPSHOT (as of 1/24/2012)

I am trying to get a test MDB to listen on a test ActiveMQ queue.  So far, I have written a simple class that can put messages on and a listener that can take messages offf, so I know that ActiveMQ is setup correctly.  However, when I try to connect an MDB to the same queue, it never picks up the message.  Here is what I have done:

1.  Copy activemq-rar-5.4.3.rar to standalone/deployments

2.  Add the following to standalone.xml:

        <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:resource-adapters:1.0">

           <resource-adapters>

                <resource-adapter>

                    <archive>activemq-rar-5.4.3.rar</archive>

                    <transaction-support>LocalTransaction</transaction-support>

                    <config-property name="ServerUrl">tcp://localhost:61616</config-property>

                </resource-adapter>

           </resource-adapters>

        </subsystem>

3.  Added the following annotations to my MDB:

@MessageDriven(name="TestAQService", activationConfig = {

                    @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destinationType", propertyValue = "javax.jms.Queue"),

                    @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destination",     propertyValue = "amqTest") })

@TransactionManagement(value= TransactionManagementType.CONTAINER)

@TransactionAttribute(value= TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRED)

@ResourceAdapter(value="activemq-rar-5.4.3.rar")

JBoss starts fine with the following pertinent log entries:

INFO  [org.jboss.as.ejb3] JBAS014142: Started message driven bean 'TestAQService' with 'activemq-rar-5.4.3' resource adapter

INFO  [org.jboss.as.server] JBAS018559: Deployed "trade-services.ear"

INFO  [org.jboss.as.server] JBAS018559: Deployed "activemq-rar-5.4.3.rar"

Everything looks like it started ok, but when I put a message on the queue, the MDB does not consume it. 

Please let me know if there is anything wrong with my configuration.

Thanks,

Ed

What are using for a connection factory in the producer?

Perhaps you can show a bit of the code that adds the message.

I have added a message in 2 ways:

1.  Using the ActiveMQ admin console, I find the queue and click the "Send To" link, and manually add a text message there.  My non-mdb listener picks this message up just fine.

2.  Via code, using ActiveMQConnectionFactory.  Again, my non-mdb listener picks this message up as well.

I am attaching the non-MDB code that works, as well as the MDB that does not work.  I am also attaching my standalone.xml.  Please let me know if you need anything else.

Thanks,

Ed

I just downloaded the latest snapshot (1/25/2012), and now instead of starting with no errors, JBoss starts with reporting the following error:  Run method is synchronized.

This is already an issue that is part of another discussion (https://community.jboss.org/message/648857), so I will mark this issue as "Answered" and hopefully we can get a resolution on the other issue.
