in my first mail the 2 xml-files are not clearly shown. so I write them again:

my ...-service.xml looks like this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<server>
 <mbean code="org.jboss.resource.connectionmanager.TxConnectionManager"
 name="jboss.jca:service=LocalTxCM,name=mbstcpra">
 <attribute name="JndiName">eis/MBS</attribute>
 <depends optional-attribute-name="TransactionManagerService">jboss:service=TransactionManager</depends>
 <depends>jboss.jca:service=RARDeployer</depends>

 <depends optional-attribute-name="ManagedConnectionPool">
 <mbean code="org.jboss.resource.connectionmanager.JBossManagedConnectionPool"
 name="jboss.jca:service=LocalTxPool,name=mbstcpra">
 <depends optional-attribute-name="ManagedConnectionFactoryName">
 <mbean code="org.jboss.resource.connectionmanager.RARDeployment"
 name="jboss.jca:service=LocalTxPF,name=mbstcpra">

 <depends optional-attribute-name="OldRarDeployment">
 jboss.jca:service=RARDeployment,name=MBS web TCP resource adapter
 </depends>

 </mbean>
 </depends>
 <attribute name="MinSize">0</attribute>
 <attribute name="MaxSize">50</attribute>
 <attribute name="BlockingTimeoutMillis">5000</attribute>
 <attribute name="IdleTimeoutMinutes">1</attribute>

 <attribute name="Criteria">ByContainer</attribute>
 </mbean>
 </depends>
 <depends optional-attribute-name="CachedConnectionManager">
 jboss.jca:service=CachedConnectionManager
 </depends>
 </mbean>
</server>

and my ra.xml looks kile this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

perhaps the problem was caused, because JBoss 4.0.3 supports JCA 1.5, but how can I change my JCA 1.0 to 1.5 ? where is the JCA version declared ? shall I change my xml-files ?

can anybody help me please ?

thank you
