I've amended http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossMessagingUser_Enabling_acce... so it's not more general now (it doesn't apply to JBoss 4.0.4 anymore) I also created a completely separated document that explains how to deploy a scoped MDB: http://wiki.jboss.org/wiki/Wiki.jsp?page=JBossMessagingUser_Deploying_a_s.... I have tested the latter with 4.0.4. I have not tested it with 4.0.3SP1, it could require additional dependencies, but you can extrapolate based on the document.
