Got it: Finally the problem could be solved by commenting a HAJNDI block in the server/default/deploy/jms/jms-ds.xml . <!-- Uncomment to use HAJNDI to access JMS --> java.naming.factory.initial=org.jnp.interfaces.NamingContextFactory java.naming.factory.url.pkgs=org.jboss.naming:org.jnp.interfaces java.naming.provider.url=localhost:1100 Since we are using ActiveMQ to archive overall messaging this block seems obsolete anyway.
