My question is how do I configure an EJB 3.0 style message driven bean to use a configured JMS datasource in jboss.

For example, my MDB looks something like:

@MessageDriven(mappedName = "ExampleMDB", activationConfig = {

        @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destinationType", propertyValue = "javax.jms.Topic"),
        @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destination", propertyValue = "MyTopic"),
        @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "channel", propertyValue = "MyChannel"),

})
@ResourceAdapter(value = "wmq.jmsra.rar")
@TransactionAttribute(TransactionAttributeType.NOT_SUPPORTED)
@TransactionManagement(TransactionManagementType.BEAN)
public class MyMDB implements MessageListener {
 .....
}

But I would like the bean to attached to a given JMS datasource ( in the case of jboss 4.2.2 this is in deploy/jms/jms-ds.xml). Perhaps this is not even possible but is worth asking.

If I understood your problem correctly, MyMDB listens to a topic on WebLogic, and you want to use an additional JMS destination provided by JBoss, defined in a deployed configuration file and identified by its JNDI name (by default, deploy/jms/jms-ds.xml only contains the configuration for the JMS provider and connection factories -- no data sources).

The easiest way is to let the container inject the JMS destination and a connection factory via its JNDI name (in JBoss the JMS destinations are configured by deploying xxx-service.xml files). On startup you can then initialize the connection, and perform cleanup as soon as the MDB is released.

The following examples shows injection (@Resource) and resource managemend (@PostConstruct and @PreDestroy). The JMS connection and destination is used in useJmsDestination(String) to send a text message.

public class MyMDB implements MessageListener {

 @Resource(mappedName = "queue/YourQueueName") // can be topic too
 private Queue targetDestination;

 @Resource(mappedName = "QueueConnectionFactory") // or ConnectionFactory
 private QueueConnectionFactory factory;

 private Connection conn;

 public void onMessage(Message m) {
  // parse message and do what you need to do
  ...
  // do something with the message and the JBoss JMS destination
  useJmsDestination(messageString);   
 }

 private void useJmsDestination(String text) {
  Session session = null;
  MessageProducer producer = null;

  try {
   session = conn.createSession(true, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
   producer = session.createProducer(targetDestination);
   TextMessage msg = session.createTextMessage(text);
   producer.send(msg);
  } catch (JMSException e) {
   throw new RuntimeException(e);
  } finally {
   try {
    if (producer != null) {
     producer.close();
    }
    if (session != null) {
     session.close();
    }
   } catch (JMSException e) {
    // handle error, should be non-fatal, as the message is already sent.
   }
  }
 }


 @PostConstruct
 void init() {
  initConnection();
  // other initialization logic
  ...
 }

 @PreDestroy
 void cleanUp() {
  closeConnection();
  // other cleanup logic
  ...
 }

 private void initConnection() {
  try {
   conn = factory.createConnection();
  } catch (JMSException e) {
   throw new RuntimeException("Could not initialize connection", e);
  }
 }

 private void closeConnection() {
  try {
   conn.close();
  } catch (JMSException e) {
   // handle error, should be non-fatal, as the connection is being closed
  }
 }
}

I hope this can help you.

I think what you are asking is "How do I specify the JNDI location of the JMS datasource to use for an MDB?"

In which case the answer is:

@ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "providerAdapterJNDI", propertyValue = "java:/DefaultJMSProvider")

Also, take a look at the following page which provides loads of useful details on configuring MDBs in jBoss: http://www.jboss.org/community/docs/DOC-9352
