I am having the same problem as konstantin and I am using jboss ejb rc7 on jboss 4.0.4 GA. I can get it to work if I specify the activation properties in ejb-jar-xml but not via the annotated verison. I was wondering if anyone got this to work on the version o jboss I am using or if it does not work until a later version??
