Well the MDB is a SLSB, therefore kind of wrong to bind into jndi. So what I did was use an entity bean (cached) with configuration props and inject that into the MDB in order to manage the message queue. This will work pretty well. And my jmx bean will set props (manage) on the entity configuration as well as evict it from the cache. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4027602#...
