I'll leave it to you to look up the config settings. No actually what we are doing is we are creating queue througha class which is deployed as a sar file and it is bounded with jboss. So no need of queue name in dd. and our standardjboss.xml file is <message-driven> | <ejb-name>first_queue</ejb-name> | <configuration-name>Sending Message Driven Bean</configuration-name> | <destination-jndi-name>first_queue</destination-jndi-name> | <depends>jboss.j2ee:jndiName=local/MessageMDB,service=EJB,plugin=invoker,binding=Receiving-message-driven-bean </depends> | </message-driven> I feel the issue is with the depends tag.
