Hello,

We are moving our environment form JBOSS AS 4.21 to JBoss 6.0. In 4.2,1 I was able to connect to an alternate JMS provider, in our case: Websphere MQ. I used following documentation: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/websphere/library/techarticles/0710_ritchie/0710_ritchie.html.

For AS 6 there were some smaller changes needed in the configuration and finally the JBoss AS started without errors:

13:36:27,371 INFO  [AdminObject] Bound admin object 'com.ibm.mq.connector.outbound.MQQueueProxy' at 'A.TPFLOG'

13:36:27,392 INFO  [AdminObject] Bound admin object 'com.ibm.mq.connector.outbound.MQQueueProxy' at 'A.VM.CURRENT.LOG'

13:36:27,543 INFO  [ConnectionFactoryBindingService] Bound ConnectionManager 'jboss.jca:service=ConnectionFactoryBinding,name=WSMQQueueConnectionFactory' to JNDI name 'java:WSMQQueueConnectionFactory'

I thought I am over the hill in that topic, but it was not the case. When I deployed the first MDB using some of those queues I got following error:

2011-04-01 14:05:45,257 INFO  [org.jboss.ejb3.EJBContainer] (HDScanner) STARTED EJB: com.eds.tweb.tpflog.ejb.mdb.TPFlogMDBBean ejbName: TPFlogMDB

followed by this:

Caused by: java.beans.IntrospectionException: No property found for: queueManager on JavaBean: org.hornetq.ra.inflow.HornetQActivationSpec(ra=null destination=A.TPFLOG destinationType=com.ibm.mq.jms.MQQueue ack=Auto-acknowledge durable=false clientID=null user=null maxSession=15)

From the error it is ovious that the queues is using the HornetQActivationSpec instead the one of Websphere MQ.

This are my configuration files:

wsmq-ds.xml

<connection-factories>

  <tx-connection-factory>

      <jndi-name>WSMQQueueConnectionFactory</jndi-name>

      <xa-transaction/>

      <attribute name="JNDIName">A.TPFLOG</attribute>

      </depends>

      <attribute name="Properties">

          baseQueueManagerName=TPF.QMGR

          baseQueueName=A.TPFLOG

      </attribute>

  </mbean>

</connection-factories>

This is my Message Driven Bean:

@MessageDriven (name="TPFlogMDBBean",  activationConfig=

{

        @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName="destination",            propertyValue="A.TPFLOG"),

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

        @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName="useJNDI",                propertyValue="false"),

        @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName="hostName",               propertyValue="localhost"),

        @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName="queueManager",           propertyValue="TPF.QMGR")

})

@ResourceAdapter("wmq-jmsra.rar")

@TransactionManagement(TransactionManagementType.CONTAINER)

@TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.NOT_SUPPORTED)

public class TPFlogMDBBean implements MessageListener {

   /** The connectionfactory. */

    @Resource(mappedName="java:WSMQQueueConnectionFactory")

    private ConnectionFactory connectionfactory;

It seems that the Resource Annotation (@ResourceAdapter("wmq-jmsra.rar")) is completely ignored.In the JMX Console I verified if the adapter has been deployed, and it is the case.

In fact, in the resource annotation I can even address an nonexisting rar without appearing any error.

eg. : @ResourceAdapter("rubish.rar")

Any light on these above issues would be highly appreciated.

Many thanks

Dominique
