Jaikiran,
thanks for help.
I have one more question about the queues dependencies.
I understand that queue need to be available when bean uses it, but why (in my case) method findAll() threw exception 'javax.naming.NameNotFoundException com.test.beans.ZBean not bound' when there was not a queue used in it?
I spend a lot of time to find out that this is queue problem, especially that findAll() didn't use it. I'm not sure but I think that in jboss 4.2.3 when bean was not ready to use was null so there was easy checking (bean == null) { lookup for it }. Now when I wanted to check bean I could see it's proxy 'Proxy to jboss.j2ee:ear=SimpleTests.ear,jar=SimpleTests.jar,name=ZBean,service=EJB3 implementing [interface com.test.beans.ZBeanLocal]'.
I was trying different things with bean implementation and finally when I removed '@Resource Queue' I could use findAll() method. Maybe the excpetion could be more specific that there is some problem with bean resources?
Is this common behaviour that I can see bean proxy class (bean is not null) and bean is not ready to use? And what about @IgnoreDependency annotation - is it safe to use it? Will @Resource or @EJB be loaded when needed or not?
