Jboss 5.1 ActiveMQ 5 standalone broker MDB setup

Question

I'm attempting to use the sample broker that comes with ActiveMQ 5 with an MDB deployed on JBoss 5.1 AS.

I've deployed the activemq rar to the deploy directory. I've deployed activemq-jms-ds.xml to deploy/messaging which defines my connection factories. I have the broker running on localhost:61616 as defined in the connectionfactory config.

But when I attempt to deploy my MDB to jboss I get this error.

21:40:17,328 ERROR [JmsActivation] Unable to reconnect  org.jboss.resource.adapter.jms.inflow.JmsActivationSpec@1332207(ra=org.jboss.resource.adapter.jms.JmsResourceAdapter@14e7167 destination=MATT.TEST destinationType=javax.jms.Queue tx=true durable=false reconnect=10 provider=java:/DefaultJMSProvider user=null maxMessages=1 minSession=1 maxSession=15 keepAlive=60000 useDLQ=true DLQHandler=org.jboss.resource.adapter.jms.inflow.dlq.GenericDLQHandler DLQJndiName=queue/DLQ DLQUser=null DLQMaxResent=5)

I'm really set on using the standard broker for now because I don't want to define a Client to place messages onto the queue. I prefer to use the web console that comes with the example broker. Is there something that I'm missing because I can't seem to figure out whats wrong.

Note: I've tried The ActiveMQ Jboss setup guide but I fear that it is too outdated being for ActiveMQ 4.

Answer 1

I found the answer buried inside this forum post.

After following the tutorial above you need to add @ResourceAdapter("your-activemq-rar-name.rar") at the top of your MDB class outside of the @MessageDriven enum right before the class definition. This tells the deployer to package the ActiveMQ resource adapter with the EJB. Note that after searching the jboss documentation for at least 3 hours before looking at the forums I didn't once see the @ResourceAdapter mentioned! I hope this saves someone alot of headaches that I had.

Anyone stuck on this problem might want to check this post. So, so simple. No data source files, no configured ra.xml.
