MessageDriven Bean annotation problem

[jameshartell]

Hi, I am reading JBoss in Action to try to learn how to use JBoss Messaging and I am going through the examples in the book but I have come stuck on one example and have scoured the web for documentation but couldn't find any so I am writing in my first ever forum for help.

Here is the code:

package org.jbia.jms.sofaspuds;

import javax.jms.*;
import javax.ejb.*;


@MessageDriven(activationConfig={
@ActivationConfigProperty
(propertyName="destinationType", propertyValue="javax.jms.Topic"),
@ActivationConfigProperty
(propertyName="destination", propertyValue="topic/VideoSubscribeTopic"),
@ActivationConfigProperty
(propertyName="subscriptionDurability", propertyValue="Durable"),
@ActivationConfigProperty
(propertyName="messageSelector", propertyValue="SpudsCustomer = 'James'")
})

public class WireTap implements MessageListener {

public void onMessage(Message msg){
try{
ObjectMessage objmsg = (ObjectMessage)msg;
Video video = (Video)objmsg.getObject();
System.out.println("Serveillance: perp=" +
msg.getStringProperty("SpudsCustomer" +
",video = " + video));
}catch (Exception e){
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}

I have jboss-ejb3x.jar, jboss-j2ee.jar and jboss-messaging-client.jar on the build path as the book said I need but I get the error:
The attribute activationConfig is undefined for the annotation type MessageDriven

I am using JBoss 5.1.0.GA, I have tried using so many jar files to see if it was that but I cannot get this working, any suggestions would be much appreciated. - Thanks, James.

Are you trying to compile this from an IDE? If yes, then first try compiling from the command prompt. I don't see anything obviously wrong with that code. By the way, the @MessageDriven annotation is available in jboss-javaee.jar

I think you're right, I was using Eclipse but when I compiled from the command line I didn't get the error, I got other errors but that's another issue. - Thank you!

You can also double-check what you are doing against the source code for the book. This example is covered by target 06 for project ch08. Though in Ant we tend to be lazy and include all JARs in common/lib and client...
