I have an MDB that uses the IBM MQ resource adapter. In the server logs, I can see that my MDB is loaded before the RAR for MQ. If I deploy my app after JBoss and the RAR are running, all is well. If I start JBoss with my app already deployed, I get an exception: jboss.j2ee:ear=otisEAR.ear,jar=otisEJB.jar,name=IncomingMessageBean,service=EJB3 -> javax.management.InstanceNotFoundException: jboss.jca:service=RARDeployment,name='wmq.jmsra.rar' is not registered. I believe I have set the dependencies up correctly: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> | <connection-factories> | | <tx-connection-factory> | <jndi-name>OtisInCF</jndi-name> | <xa-transaction /> | <rar-name>wmq.jmsra.rar</rar-name> | <connection-definition>javax.jms.ConnectionFactory</connection-definition> | <config-property name="channel" type="java.lang.String">SYSTEM.DEF.SVRCONN</config-property> | <config-property name="hostName" type="java.lang.String">127.0.0.1</config-property> | <config-property name="port" type="java.lang.String">1414</config-property> | <config-property name="queueManager" type="java.lang.String">QM_stg352670</config-property> | <config-property name="transportType" type="java.lang.String">CLIENT</config-property> | <security-domain-and-application>JmsXARealm</security-domain-and-application> | </tx-connection-factory> | | <mbean code="org.jboss.resource.deployment.AdminObject" | name="jca.wmq:name=otisinqueue"> | <attribute name="JNDIName">wsmq/OtisInQueue</attribute> | <depends optional-attribute-name="RARName">jboss.jca:service=RARDeployment,name='wmq.jmsra.rar'</depends> | <attribute name="Type">javax.jms.Queue</attribute> | <attribute name="Properties"> | baseQueueManagerName=QM_stg352670 | baseQueueName=LPTestQ | </attribute> | </mbean> | | </connection-factories> | JBoss 5 beta 4 doesn't seem to heed the dependency instructions in my mbean, excerpted here: <depends optional-attribute-name="RARName">jboss.jca:service=RARDeployment,name='wmq.jmsra.rar'</depends> Is this a known issue, or am I doing something wrong here?
