Hello,

I am trying to deploy a app on JBoss 5.1 Final. It has 2 MDBs that need to be called by quartz according to crontab. At deployment time I get the following error message:

08:34:10,809 INFO  [EJBContainer] STARTED EJB: ch.mobi.evn.business.application.AttestationEventsTimerBean ejbName: AttestationEventsTimerBean

The source of the Bean looks like that:

@MessageDriven(activationConfig =

{@ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "cronTrigger", propertyValue = "0 5 * ? * MON-FRI *")})

@ResourceAdapter("quartz-ra.rar")

public class AttestationEventsTimerBean implements Job {

  private static final Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(AttestationEventsTimerBean.class);

  @Override

  public void execute(JobExecutionContext jobExecutionContext) throws JobExecutionException {

    SimpleDateFormat formatter = new SimpleDateFormat("HH:mm:ss");

    logger.info("Process attestations: "+formatter.format(new Date()));

      try {

        this.attestationService.processLocalAttestations();

      }

      catch (AttestationException e) {

        logger.error("AttestationTimeout failed.", e);

      }

  }

  private AttestationService attestationService;

  @EJB

  public void setAttesationService(AttestationService attestationService) {

    this.attestationService = attestationService;

  }

}

It is done like in the examples in the JBoss docs. If I delete the @ResourceAdapter annotation I get an exception that MDB the messagetype is unknown. An MDB has no @Timeout annotations so what is going on here? Has somebody an idea?
