there are some mistakes in u r code... there is nothing like @callbackfilter annotation present in api. we have to use @Intercepters annotation which takes u r lister class file as i/p. and also the life cycle lister methods shoud be given with InvocationContext object as perameter to the methods which are using annoations like postcreate,..etc . And also one thing, we should not use @Init in the context of ejb3.0 session beans(message also) bcos they dont have any home objects to call ejbcreate method. ur code works fine after these modications in my machine.
