Hi,
 
I have MDBs with custom listener interfaces that are bound to the resource adapter via the jboss-ejb3.xml.
The resource adapter archive is also part of the application.
Up to now I had an ironjacamar.xml in the rar file and I bound the MDB to the resource adapter like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<jboss:ejb-jar
        xmlns:jboss="http://www.jboss.com/xml/ns/javaee"
        xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xmlns:mdb="urn:resource-adapter-binding"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://www.jboss.com/xml/ns/javaee http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/schema/jboss-ejb3-2_0.xsd
           http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/schema/jboss-ejb3-spec-2_0.xsd"
        version="3.1"
        impl-version="2.0">
  <enterprise-beans>
  <assembly-descriptor>
        <mdb:resource-adapter-binding>
            <ejb-name>TestBean</ejb-name>
            <mdb:resource-adapter-name>Test.ear#test.rar</mdb:resource-adapter-name>
        </mdb:resource-adapter-binding>
    </assembly-descriptor>
</jboss:ejb-jar>
 
Now I removed the ironjacamar.xml from the rar file and added a resource-adapter tag to the standalone-full.xml:
 
<resource-adapter id="test.rar">
   <archive>Test.ear#test.rar</archive>
    ...
</resource-adapter>
On JBoss AS 7.2.0 everything still works fine.
But when I start that on an EAP 6.2 the deployment hangs because the MDB cannot be activated.
It works again if I change the jboss-ejb3.xml like this:
        <mdb:resource-adapter-binding>
            <ejb-name>TestBean</ejb-name>
            <mdb:resource-adapter-name>test.rar</mdb:resource-adapter-name>
        </mdb:resource-adapter-binding>
So it seems that the id from the server configuration is used.
 
But then the deployment hangs on AS 7.2.0...
 
Is my observation correct? Or did I get something wrong?
If it is correct is there a way to get the MDB working on both versions, AS 7.2.0 and EAP 6.+?
 
Thank you & kind regards,
Robert
