I have fallen back to JBoss 4.2.3. Using the http://localhost:8080/jmx-console/ I search for jboss.j2ee and locate my MDB jar=WAB_EJB.jar,name=SSMListener,service=EJB3 When I select the MDB link it I get controls to start and stop the MDB. Refer to the images here: http://picbite.com/image/11176bjgfn/ Two points: 1) I don't find any JMX entry that is formatted like that described above by Clebert: binding=message-driven-bean,jndiName=local/MDBExample@1421788223,plugin=invoker,service=EJB 2) I can't find equivalent control using JBoss 5. I know that I am missing something... What is it? Any help will be appreciated. Paul View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4197018#...
