Hopefully someone can clearn up my confusion. I am using JBoss 3.0.2 by the way.

I have defined the queue EMAIL in my jbossmq-destinations-service.xml file with the definition:


<depends optional-attribute-name="DestinationManager">jboss.mq:service=DestinationManager


I have also written MDB that is supposed to listen to messages on that queue. The jboss-xml file for it contains:

<message-driven>
<ejb-name>EmailMessager</ejb-name>
<jndi-name>EmailMessager</jndi-name>
<destination-jndi-name>EMAIL</destination-jndi-name>
<xa-connection>false</xa-connection>
</message-driven>

When JBoss is starting, I receive the messages:

2003-02-13 17:17:56,239 DEBUG [org.jboss.mq.pm.file.PersistenceManager] restoring destination: QUEUE.EMAIL
2003-02-13 17:17:56,239 DEBUG [org.jboss.mq.pm.file.PersistenceManager] Restore message count: 0
2003-02-13 17:17:56,239 DEBUG [org.jboss.mq.pm.file.PersistenceManager] restoring destination: QUEUE.EMAIL

2003-02-13 17:17:56,241 INFO [org.jboss.mq.server.jmx.Queue.EMAIL] Started


This states that it has bound the EMAIL queue to "queue/EMAIL" which is what is expected. When JBoss actually deploys the MDB however, I receive the message:

2003-02-13 17:21:43,420 WARN [org.jboss.ejb.plugins.jms.JMSContainerInvoker] destination not found: queue/EMAIL reason: javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: EMAIL not bound

MBeanException: Exception in MBean operation 'createQueue(,java.lang.String)'
Cause: javax.management.InstanceAlreadyExistsException: jboss.mq.destination:service=Queue,name=EMAIL already registered.


This states that it was not able to find the queue named "queue/EMAIL" and when it goes to create a temporary queue by that name, it states that it already exists.

How is this possible?? It was not able to create a queue by that name because it already exists but can't find it because it doesn't exist.

I'm confused. Please help.

Thank you,

Bob
