Thanks guys but I already tried all of the above. MySQL does support the schema.table notation. In my mysql-ds.xml, I've configured the default database which is other than jboss. I guess I can configure the default database to be jboss and explicitly state the schema name in my data access objects. However, it seems like it was working for all JMS related file configurations but just not for the EJBTimeService which is really annoying. Surely I'm missing something or perhaps this is a bug.
