yogananth Mahalingam [http://community.jboss.org/people/yogamaha] commented on the document "How to configure EJB3 MDBs for IBM Websphere MQ" To view all comments on this document, visit: http://community.jboss.org/docs/DOC-12944#comment-7111 -------------------------------------------------- Hi, I have to tell this is an excellent article. Part 1 of this article worked fine. I have configured MQ details using annotation inside the EJB & worked fine. Part 2 - I tried to externalize the Queue related information into "ejb3-interceptors-aop.xml" so that I can use the same EAR in different environments & just update the "ejb3-interceptors-aop.xml" based on environment. This resulted in exception (Stack trace is below). Below are the configurations I have used: *Configuration (ejb3-interceptors-aop.xml):*    <domain name="MyMessageDrivenBean" extends="Message Driven Bean" inheritBindings="true">       <annotation expr="class(*) AND !class((a)org.jboss.annotation.ejb.DefaultActivationSpecs)&quot;&gt;          @org.jboss.annotation.ejb.DefaultActivationSpecs ({(a)javax.ejb.ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName =

&quot;MyServerName&quot;),(a)javax.ejb.ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "queueManager", propertyValue = &quot;QUEUEMANAGER&quot;),(a)javax.ejb.ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "port", propertyValue = &quot;1415&quot;),(a)javax.ejb.ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "transportType", propertyValue = "CLIENT")})       </annotation>    </domain> *EJB Annotation:*
