Simon Cigoj [http://community.jboss.org/people/SimonCigoj] created the discussion "problem with seam and mdb on jboss5.1" To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/548355#548355 -------------------------------------------------------------- I have a problem when using a mdb as a seam component. In the bean I inject some other seam somponents. The problem is that when the server restart after a crash and the mdb is deployed it starts reading the messages but seam is not initialized yet and I got an exception(listed above). If i start the server whith the queues empty and submit a message to queue after the server start it is working ok. The mdb is anothated like this : @Name("videoConverter") @MessageDriven(name = "VideoConverter",   activationConfig = {   @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destinationType", propertyValue = "javax.jms.Queue"),   @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destination", propertyValue = "queue/VideoConverterQueue"), @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "maxSession", propertyValue = "1")   }) @Pool(value = PoolDefaults.POOL_IMPLEMENTATION_STRICTMAX, maxSize = 1, timeout = 10000 Is there a posibility to stop or delay the sending off messages on server startup and start sending them only when seam is fully funcional? I tried the @Depends antotatin on the bean but withowt success from the possible solution mentioned here https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBSEAM-2286?focusedCommentId=12535875 https://jira.jboss.org/browse/JBSEAM-2286?focusedCommentId=12535875 but no success. my environment : jboss5.1 GA seam 2.2.0 GA jboss messaging 1.4 Any help would be appreceated the error on startup : 11:24:20,477 ERROR [TxPolicy] javax.ejb.EJBTransactionRolledbackException: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Attempted to invoke a Seam component outside an initialized application 11:24:30,483 ERROR [TxPolicy] javax.ejb.EJBException: Failed to acquire the pool semaphore, strictTimeout=10000 -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/548355#548355] Start a new discussion in JBoss Messaging at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
