This thread is really getting off topic. :-) EJB3 should be doing anything with JBoss Messaging. If anything should be doing this, it is the resource adapter. e.g. there should be an activation spec property called "createDestination" The resource adapter could then be updated to use the admin class, or my preference would be something like this: http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4033100#... which should really be in the JMS spec. This approach maps to other inbound adapters like AMPQ which does define a portable management api. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4033104#...
