Hi
I have a question regarding making a subscription durable. I went a lot through the documentation but still i am not able to get it right.
This is my publisher code only part of it.

Context ctxInitCtxt = new InitialContext();
TopicConnectionFactory factory = (TopicConnectionFactory)ctxInitCtxt.lookup("ConnectionFactory");
topicConn= factory.createTopicConnection();
topicSession= topicConn.createTopicSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
Topic topic = (Topic) ctxInitCtxt.lookup("topic/DEFTopic");
TopicPublisher publisher = topicSession.createPublisher(topic);
ObjectMessage objMsg =topicSession.createObjectMessage();
objMsg.setObject(dfrep);
publisher.publish(objMsg);

I guess the durable subscription should happen from the client. Now i have an MDB which listens to this topic.

My MDB

public void onMessage(Message msg)
{
ObjectMessage objMsg = (ObjectMessage) msg;
String strClassName=this.getClass().getName();
try
{
Report dfrpt = (Report)objMsg.getObject();
// The bean has received the following message from the JMS Queue.
DEFLogger.logInfo("["+className+"]"+"Mesasge driven Bean(MDB) has received the message with reportClassName-->"+dfrpt.getReportClassName() );
ReportController.extractKXMLDoc(dfrpt);

}
catch(Exception ex)
{
DEFLogger.logFatal(ex);
}
}


My jboss.xml is

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