This worked for me (by the way, I am not using an MDB, if you are you will need a few more things). I copied server/default as server/minmsg. Then I removed a lot of stuff. Here is the final deployers directory: jboss-aop-jboss5.deployer/ jboss-jca.deployer/ messaging-definitions-jboss-beans.xml metadata-deployer-jboss-beans.xml security-deployer-jboss-beans.xml And here is the deploy directory: messaging/ security/ hdscanner-jboss-beans.xml hsqldb-ds.xml jboss-local-jdbc.rar jboss-xa-jdbc.rar jca-jboss-beans.xml jms-ra.rar remoting-jboss-beans.xml transaction-jboss-beans.xml transaction-service.xml vfs-jboss-beans.xml You might be able to remove even a few more things and have it work but like I said the above works for me.
