I am attempting to get this going on JBoss AS 6.0.0 Final, default configuration. I have read that using the MessageDriven annotation, the destination queue will be created if it does not exist. (eg., http://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/docs/Server_Configuration_Guide/4/html/EJB3... http://docs.jboss.org/jbossas/docs/Server_Configuration_Guide/4/html/EJB3... ) Here is my annotation: @MessageDriven(         name="ShippingRequestProcessor",         mappedName="queue/ShippingRequestQueue",         activationConfig = {                 @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destinationType", propertyValue = "javax.jms.Queue"),                 @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destination", propertyValue = "queue/ShippingRequestQueue"),                  }) public class ShippingRequestProcessor implements MessageListener {     @PostConstruct     public void initialize()     {         log.info("Shipper initialized.");     } public void onMessage(Message message) {     etc... Using eclipse, I have created that inside an EJB project, inside an EAR project. (The mappedName anno property is added by eclipse / new Message Driven Bean) When I deploy, my other EJBs get deployed. However, when the MDB 'starts', I see the following in the log: 16:00:11,482 INFO  [org.hornetq.ra.inflow.HornetQActivation] Attempting to reconnect org.hornetq.ra.inflow.HornetQActivationSpec(ra=org.hornetq.ra.HornetQResourceAdapter@3b59640d destination=queue/ShippingRequestQueue destinationType=javax.jms.Queue ack=Auto-acknowledge durable=false clientID=null user=null maxSession=15) 16:00:11,496 INFO  [org.hornetq.ra.inflow.HornetQActivation] awaiting topic/queue creation queue/ShippingRequestQueue These two messages are repeated 10 times, and then nothing happens.  initialize() is not called. The client indicates the queue is not bound. Using "jms/ShippingRequestQueue" or "jms.queue.ShippingRequestQueue" does not help, either. What am I missing? Thanks for any help! -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/580427#580427] Start a new discussion in EJB3 at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
