I am tring to create a new JMS provider using the standard jboss provider. I created a custom myds-ds.xml that contains the following :

 <mbean code="org.jboss.jms.jndi.JMSProviderLoader"
 name="jboss.mq:service=JMSProviderLoader,name=myJMSProvider">
 <attribute name="ProviderName">myJMSProvider</attribute>
 <attribute name="ProviderAdapterClass"> org.jboss.jms.jndi.JNDIProviderAdapter </attribute>
 <!-- The combined connection factory -->
 <attribute name="FactoryRef">java:/myConnectionFactory</attribute>
 <!-- The queue connection factory -->
 <attribute name="QueueFactoryRef">java:/myQueueConnectionFactory</attribute>
 <!-- The topic factory -->
 <attribute name="TopicFactoryRef">java:/myTopicConnectionFactory</attribute>
 </mbean>

 <no-tx-connection-factory>
 <jndi-name>hpomsTopicConnectionFactory</jndi-name>
 <rar-name>jms-ra.rar</rar-name>
 <connection-definition>org.jboss.resource.adapter.jms.JmsConnectionFactory</connection-definition>
 <config-property name="SessionDefaultType" type="java.lang.String">javax.jms.Topic</config-property>
 <config-property name="JmsProviderAdapterJNDI" type="java.lang.String"
 >java:/hpomsJMSProvider</config-property>
 <max-pool-size>20</max-pool-size>
 </no-tx-connection-factory>

The factories show up in the jndi context, but when i try to use them with the following code :

 Topic jcTopic = lookupJobCancelTopic(context);
 TopicConnectionFactory tcf = lookupTopicConnectionFactory(context);
 TopicConnection tc = tcf.createTopicConnection();
 tc.start();
 ConnectionMetaData md = tc.getMetaData();
 TopicSession ts = tc.createTopicSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
 TopicSubscriber tr = ts.createSubscriber(jcTopic);

it fails when trying to create the topic session. If I change the deployment descriptor to use the default JMSProvider then the code works just fine. I have created a topic to use for this test. Is there something else that I need to do in order to create a custom provder?

I am using JBoss 4.0.5GA, running on Linux with the 64bit JDK 1.5.0_9.

Thanks,
