How about removing this message selector part and running your application again? Probably the messages sent to the queue do not match this selector and hence the MDB is not picking it up. <activation-config-property> | <activation-config-property-name>messageSelector</activation-config-property-name> | <activation-config-property-value>MessageFormat = 'Version 3.4'</activation-config-property-value> | </activation-config-property> P.S:While posting the logs or xml content or code, remember to wrap it in a code block using the Code button in the message editor window and please hit the Preview button to make sure your post is correctly formatted View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4154934#...
