MDB annotation/queue creation problem

[braduk]

Hi,

I'm having problems getting a simple message driven bean to work in JBoss 5.1.

Bean annotation:

@MessageDriven(name = "TestMDB", activationConfig = {
 @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destinationType", propertyValue = "javax.jms.Queue"),
 @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destination", propertyValue = "/queue/TestQueue"),
 @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "useJNDI", propertyValue = "true"),
 @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "useLocalTx", propertyValue = "true") })

hornetq-jms.xml file (in the root of my .sar directory):

<configuration xmlns="urn:hornetq"
 xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:schemaLocation="urn:hornetq /schema/hornetq-jms.xsd">

 <queue name="testQueue">
 <entry name="/queue/testQueue"/>
 </queue>

</configuration>

The error I'm seeing:

2009-12-08 17:02:39,872 ERROR [org.hornetq.core.server.impl.ServerSessionImpl](Thread-3 (group:HornetQ-server-threads4863382-274676)) Failed to create consumer

The queue definition for /queue/testQueue in the file above seems to be ignored as its no visible in the JNDI tree using the JNDI view MBean. this is puzzling as we have another service deployed with its own hornetq-jms.xml file which is creating queues and topics with no problem.

Also, I'm curious why its reporting "Binding jms.queue.TestQueue does not exist". That's not the queue name defined in the annotation.

Can someone point out where I've gone wrong please?

Thanks,
Brad.

check your spelling :) /queue/TestQueue vs /queue/testQueue.

Hi Andy,

thanks for replying. I've corrected the spelling mistake (doh) but I still don't see the queue in JNDI. I also still get the MDB binding error:

HornetQException[errorCode=100 message=Binding jms.queue.TestQueue does not exist]

Silly question time.....am I allowed to have two hornetq-jms.xml files? Seems strange that I get a queue in JNDI if I put the definition in the other file.

Also "jms.queue.TestQueue" where does the jms.queue bit come from?

Cheers.

Yes you can. The server will load any file found as a resource on the classpath with this name. Maybe the file not getting picked up is not on the classpath. try moving it.

Also "jms.queue.TestQueue" where does the jms.queue bit come from?

This is how we represent jms queue internally. we prefix them with jms.*.

Are you using JMS on the client side or the core API.
