Hmm--still fails DEPLOYMENTS IN ERROR: Deployment "<UNKNOWN jboss.j2ee:ear=IMgrEar.ear,jar=ResILog70Mgr.jar,name=ResILogMgr,service=EJB3>" is in error due to the following reason(s): ** UNRESOLVED Demands 'RES:type=IlrJMXRepository' ** I can successfully retrieve the MBean entry from the MBean registry using the get method through the JMX-console using this objectname. General question is whether any MBean can participate in dependency relationships, or only certain MBeans, do they have to implement a particular interface to be valid service dependencies.
