Not sure if it helps you but I noticed that with the example test-bridge-service.xml it is doing the jndi lookup for: jboss.messaging:service=JMSProviderLoader,name=DefaultJMSProvider This is not registered, perhaps it was in the 4.2 when messaging was manually deployed following there instructions. The correct registered path in my 4.3 eap distro is: jboss.jms:service=JMSProviderLoader,name=DefaultJMSProvider Cheers, - Matthew View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4220754#...
