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_... http://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/docs/Server_Configuration_Guide/4/html/ENC_... 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 http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/schema" version="5.1"      xs:schemaLocation=" http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/schema http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/schema      http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/schema/jboss-web_5_1.xsd http://www.jboss.org/j2ee/schema/jboss-web_5_1.xsd">   <resource-ref>     <res-ref-name>jms/JmsXA</res-ref-name>     <jndi-name>java:/JmsXA</jndi-name>   </resource-ref> </jboss-web> Then in the web app code I tried to do a lookup for "java:comp/env/jms/JmsXA" but it returned null. +*How can web app code access java:JmsXA??*+ I already searched this forum and FAQs, e.g. https://community.jboss.org/message/440879#440879#440879 https://community.jboss.org/message/440879#440879 https://community.jboss.org/thread/47131?tstart=0 https://community.jboss.org/thread/47131?tstart=0 but there's no info on web app code accessing java:JmsXA. If I re-package my code as a Spring deployment and deploy using "Snowdrop", then the +same+ code works and can access "java:JmsXA", but I'd rather depoy as a web app. http://www.jboss.org/snowdrop http://www.jboss.org/snowdrop Oh and it's JBoss-6.1.0  due to legacy apps, we have to stick with this old realease for now.
