Hi,

I am trying to deploy (as many others before in this forum) to deploy activemq-rar on JBoss AS 7.1.1. Final and get an MDB working.

What is working:

Deploying OOTB activemq-rar-5.6.0.rar

JBoss AS 7.1.1 says: deployed

09:37:20,713 INFO  [org.jboss.as.server] (DeploymentScanner-threads - 2) JBAS018559: Deployed "activemq-rar-5.6.0.rar"

It also shows up as deployed and enabled inside JBoss Console

Adding an MDB to the running server:

@MessageDriven(name = "MDB", activationConfig = {

        @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destinationType", propertyValue = "javax.jms.Queue"),

        @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destination", propertyValue = "test1"),

        @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "acknowledgeMode", propertyValue = "Auto-acknowledge")

})

@ResourceAdapter("activemq-rar-5.6.0.rar")

public class MDBDemo implements MessageListener {

    @Override

    public void onMessage(Message message) {

        System.out.println("received message !!!!");

        System.out.println(message);

    }

}

Results in:

JBAS014775: New missing/unsatisfied dependencies: service jboss.ra."activemq-rar-5.6.0" (missing) dependents: [service jboss.deployment.unit."jboss-mdb-demo.war".component.MDB.CREATE]

I might understand rollback of the MDB, but not that of the rar

Questions:

1) How do I correctly reference the activemq-ra.rar in the MDB?

2) Why is the RAR rolled back in the second case

3) Has anyone managed to get activemq-ra connector correctly deployed in JBoss AS 7.1.1.Final and can provide a wrap up? :-)
