Just a FYI - Right now, there's a way to configure the resource-adapter used by the MDBs via the standalone.xml/domain.xml. But that then applies to all MDBs deployed on that server. You can do it as follows: <!-- Default MDB configurations --> <mdb> <resource-adapter-ref resource-adapter-name="ra-name-of-your-choice"/> ... But like you say, there are plans to allow it to be specified at per MDB or even a per deployment (applies to all MDBs in that deployment) via the jboss-ejb3.xml. Carlo has been working on the jboss-ejb3.xml parts, so he'll know if we already have some code to support this. If not, we are welcome to contributions. P.S: We are usually on #jboss-as7 irc.freenode.net IRC channel if you want to have a chat about how to proceed on the implementation. -Jaikiran On Thursday 17 November 2011 07:32 PM, Panzer, Robert wrote: > Hi, > > currently binding a message driven bean to another resource adapter > than the default resource adapter requires adding a JBoss specific > annotation @org.jboss.ejb3.annotation.ResourceAdapter to the MDB. > > I think there should also be a way to establish this binding using a > specific deployment descriptor to allow for deploying portable JEE > applications to JBoss 7. > > Looking at the code I think that this should go into the jboss-ejb3.xml. > > As far as I can see the parsing code in jboss-metadata-ejb only parses > a skeleton document that looks like this: > > <jboss xmlns="http://www.jboss.com/xml/ns/javaee"> > > <enterprise-beans> > > <ejb> > > </ejb> > > </enterprise-beans> > > </jboss> > > So if I have not overseen anything there is no way of establishing > this binding. > > I'd like to contribute to this part but would like to have an opinion > how this file should look like in the end. > > As a resource adapter binding only makes sense for MDBs I would prefer > something like this: > > <jboss xmlns="http://www.jboss.com/xml/ns/javaee"> > > <enterprise-beans> > > <message-driven> > > <ejb-name>MyEjbName</ejb-name> > > <resource-adapter>myConnector.rar</resource-adapter> > > </message-driven> > > </enterprise-beans> > > </jboss> > > What do you think about this? > > Kind regards, > > Robert > > *WINCOR NIXDORF International GmbH* > Sitz der Gesellschaft: Paderborn > Registergericht Paderborn HRB 3507 > Geschäftsführer: Eckard Heidloff (Vorsitzender), Stefan Auerbach, > Dr. Jürgen Wunram > Vorsitzender des Aufsichtsrats: Karl-Heinz Stiller > Steuernummer: 339/5884/0020 - Ust-ID Nr.: DE812927716 - > WEEE-Reg.-Nr.
