Cannot map java:/JmsXA to web app resource as java:comp/env/jms/JmsXA

Hello,

This is my first post. I want to use a JMS ConectionFactory via a Resource Adapter, therefore I want the CF boud to "java:JmsXA". I want to access this from a web application, but it cannot "see" this (returns null upon attempt to lookup). I don't understand why this is an issue since the web app is in the same VM as the JBoss server. I wonder if there are other isolation mechanisms to consider for web apps accessing the "java:" namespace?

I know that "JmsXA" can be reconfigured to be in the global namespace, but that will impact other applications on the server that expect it in the "java:" namespace, so that's not an option.

Then I read how these resources can be mapped into a web app's private ENC namespace:

http://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/docs/Server_Configuration_Guide/4/html/ENC_Usage_Conventions-Resource_Manager_Connection_Factory_References.html

So in my WEB-INF/web.xml, I put:

<resource-ref>

<res-ref-name>jms/JmsXA</res-ref-name>

<res-type>javax.jms.ConnectionFactory</res-type>

<res-auth>Container</res-auth>

</resource-ref>

...and in WEB-INF/jboss-web.xml, I put:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<jboss-web xmlns:xs="http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/schema" version="5.1"
