I would like to enherit common resources from an abstract superclass

public abstract class AbstractManagedBean {
 @Resource(name = "jms/ConnectionFactory")
 protected ConnectionFactory m_factory;
 @Resource(name = "topic/abc/ConsoleMessages")
 protected Topic m_consoleMessagesTopic;
}

In the ejb-jar.xml and jboss.xml files I have added the appropriate declarations for all concrete subclasses of this class.

ejb-jar.xml

<!-- JobRequest Listener MDB -->
<message-driven>
 <ejb-name>JobRequestListener</ejb-name>
 <ejb-class>com.abc.backend.jobs.JobRequestListener</ejb-class>
 <message-destination-link>JobRequests</message-destination-link>
 <!--Inherited From AbstractManagedBean -->
 <resource-ref>
 <res-ref-name>jms/ConnectionFactory</res-ref-name>
 <res-type>javax.jms.ConnectionFactory</res-type>
 <res-auth>Container</res-auth>
 </resource-ref>
 <message-destination-ref>
 <message-destination-ref-name>topic/abc/ConsoleMessages</message-destination-ref-name>
 <message-destination-type>javax.jms.Topic</message-destination-type>
 <message-destination-usage>Produces</message-destination-usage>
 <message-destination-link>ConsoleMessages</message-destination-link>
 </message-destination-ref>
 <!--Local Resources -->
</message-driven>

jboss.xml

<!-- Job Request Listener MDB -->
<message-driven>
 <ejb-name>JobRequestListener</ejb-name>
 <destination-jndi-name>queue/abc/JobRequests</destination-jndi-name>
 <!--Inherited From AbstractManagedBean -->
 <resource-ref>
 <res-ref-name>jms/ConnectionFactory</res-ref-name>
 <jndi-name>java:/JmsXA</jndi-name>
 </resource-ref>
 <message-destination-ref>
 <message-destination-ref-name>topic/abc/ConsoleMessages</message-destination-ref-name>
 <message-destination-type>javax.jms.Topic</message-destination-type>
 <message-destination-usage>Produces</message-destination-usage>
 <message-destination-link>ConsoleMessages</message-destination-link>
 <jndi-name>jnp://localhost:1100/topic/abc/ConsoleMessages</jndi-name>
 </message-destination-ref>
 <!--Local Resources -->
</message-driven>

However during deployment the following errors are reported. Any ideas what I have to add to the deployment descriptors to get this working. Since it's an abstract bean it doesn't seem to make sense to add it.

I have already tried changing the @Resource annotation to use mappedName and this resolves the problem, however I need to defer the mapping to the "real" JNDI name to the deployment descriptor, as "java:/JmsXA" only works with JBoss and not other application servers.

java.lang.RuntimeException: You did not specify a @Resource.mappedName() on protected javax.jms.Topic com.abc.backend.AbstractManagedBean.m_consoleMessagesTopic and there is no binding for enc name env/topic/abc/ConsoleMessages in XML
