EAR containing a MDB(listening to a topic) fails to deploy because of the order of deployment --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBAS-5272 URL: http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-5272 Project: JBoss Application Server Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public (Everyone can see) Affects Versions: JBossAS-5.0.0.Beta4 Environment: JBoss-5.0 Beta 4, Sun Java 1.5, Windows 2003 Server Reporter: jaikiran pai A simple EAR containing an MDB which listens on a topic fails to deploy. The MDB is as follows: package org.myapp.ejb.impl; import javax.ejb.ActivationConfigProperty; import javax.ejb.MessageDriven; import javax.jms.Message; import javax.jms.MessageListener; import org.apache.log4j.Logger; @MessageDriven(activationConfig = { @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName="destinationType", propertyValue="javax.jms.Topic"), @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName="destination", propertyValue="topic/testTopic") }) public class MyMDB implements MessageListener { private static Logger logger = Logger.getLogger(MyMDB.class); /** * Default constructor * */ public MyMDB() { } /** * */ public void onMessage(Message arg0) { System.out.println("onMessage of MyMDB called"); logger.info("onMessage of MyMDB called"); } } The sample EAR that i used for testing was named EJB3Persistence.ear and was placed in the deploy folder of JBoss. The topic was configured in destinations-service.xml which is inside deploy\messaging folder. Started JBoss. While deploying the application, JBoss threw this exception: 2008-03-04 11:29:51,416 INFO [org.jboss.ejb3.EJBContainer] STARTED EJB: org.myapp.ejb.impl.MyMDB ejbName: MyMDB 2008-03-04 11:29:51,416

is created at a later stage during deployment: 2008-03-04 11:30:08,479 DEBUG [org.jboss.jms.server.destination.TopicService] Starting jboss.messaging.destination:service=Topic,name=testTopic

/topic/testTopic As a workaround, i renamed the EAR file to ZEJB3Persistence.ear (note that the filename now starts with Z), so that this file is picked up for deployment *after* deploying the topic in the messaging folder. I then restarted JBoss with came up fine without any errors and deployed the EAR and MDB.
