I have such an MDB:

@MessageDriven(activationConfig = {

        @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destinationType",

                propertyValue = "javax.jms.Queue"),

        @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destination",

                propertyValue = "queue/RemoveUnusedBlobsQueue") })

@TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.REQUIRED)

public class RemoveUnusedBlobsBean implements MessageListener {

it deploys fine:

but next EJB3 jar fails:

If I remove this MDB from deployment (there are other beans in jar so it still deploys),  other EJB3 jars deploy without errors.

Any idea what can cause this?
