First I know that the questions below has been asked many times. I have seen several posts where the replies say: "Search for the Answer". I have searched and I can't find it...

Problem:
I have a queue and a listener. The listener is configured as an MDB. I want to be able to:

o Start/Stop the Queue via JMX
o Start/Stop the Queue progrmatically


I cannot find an answer for either. First the JMX issue

Environment:
JBoss: Jboss-5.0.0 GA
JDK: jdk1.6.0_10

Below is the code for my MDB:

import javax.ejb.ActivationConfigProperty;
import javax.ejb.MessageDriven;
import javax.jms.JMSException;
import javax.jms.Message;
import javax.jms.MessageListener;
import javax.jms.TextMessage;

@MessageDriven(mappedName = "jms/SSMListener", activationConfig = {
 @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName="messagingType", propertyValue="javax.jms.MessageListener"),
 @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "acknowledgeMode", propertyValue = "Auto-acknowledge"),
 @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destinationType", propertyValue = "javax.jms.Queue"),
 @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName="destination",propertyValue="queue/SSMQueue") })
public class SSMListener implements MessageListener {

 public void onMessage(Message arg0) {
 // TODO Auto-generated method stub
 TextMessage tm = (TextMessage) arg0;
 try {
 System.out.println("I'm alive - " + tm.getText());
 } catch (JMSException e) {
 // TODO Auto-generated catch block
 e.printStackTrace();
 }
 }
}

JBoss.xml:

<jboss>
 <enterprise-beans>
 <message-driven>
 <ejb-name>SSMListener</ejb-name>
 <local-jndi-name>jms/SSMListener</local-jndi-name>
 <destination-jndi-name>queue/SSMQueue</destination-jndi-name>
 </message-driven>
 </enterprise-beans>
</jboss>

destinations-service.xml

<mbean code="org.jboss.mq.server.jmx.Queue"
 name="jboss.mq.destination:service=Queue,name=SSMQueue">
 <depends optional-attribute-name="DestinationManager">jboss.mq:service=DestinationManager</depends>
 </mbean>

Here is are two snapshots of my JMX console.

I don't see any JMX controls for startDelivery or stopDelivery.
o What am I doing wrong here?
o Do I need to configure the MDB as an mbean?

Remember - beginner...

For start/stoping programatically I have the following code:

ObjectName objectName;
 try {
 objectName = new ObjectName(
 "jboss.j2ee:binding=message-driven-bean, jndiName=jms/SSMListener, plugin=invoker,service=EJB");
 MBeanServer server = MBeanServerLocator.locateJBoss();
 server.invoke(objectName, "stopDelivery", new Object[] {}, null);
 } catch (MalformedObjectNameException e1) {
 // TODO Auto-generated catch block
 e1.printStackTrace();
 } catch (NullPointerException e1) {
 // TODO Auto-generated catch block
 e1.printStackTrace();
 } catch (InstanceNotFoundException e) {
 // TODO Auto-generated catch block
 e.printStackTrace();
 } catch (MBeanException e) {
 // TODO Auto-generated catch block
 e.printStackTrace();
 } catch (ReflectionException e) {
 // TODO Auto-generated catch block
 e.printStackTrace();
 }

This code generates exception:

10:55:55,157 ERROR [STDERR] javax.management.InstanceNotFoundException: jboss.j2ee:binding=message-driven-bean, jndiName=jms/SSMListener, plugin=invoker,service=EJB is not registered.
10:55:55,158 ERROR [STDERR] at org.jboss.mx.server.registry.BasicMBeanRegistry.get(BasicMBeanRegistry.java:529)

10:55:55,158 ERROR [STDERR] at com.sita.wab.ejb.ssim.SsimEjbBean.startLoad(SsimEjbBean.java:32)

I suspect once I get the JMX issue resolved the answer to this problem will be obvious.

Other than the starting/stopping the queue, everything else works well.

Please be cognizant that I have posted this on the "Beginners Corner" forum and I am not that familure with the details of JMX.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.
