To view the discussion, visit: http://community.jboss.org/message/586372#586372 -------------------------------------------------------------- JBoss 4.2.3GA I have an application that needs to connect to a remote JMS topic (another JBoss box). For the deployment of this application I have a *-ds.xml file to specify the remote JMS provider ("RemoteJmsProvider"). The MDB is using annotations and I have specified one @ActivationConfigProperty that sets the "providerAdapterJNDI" to java:/RemoteJmsProvider. Everything works perfect as of now. The question is how do I reconfigure this when I deploy the application on the same JBoss instance that is hosting the topic that I need to connect to?  In this scenario a remote jms provider should no longer be required. I've attempted to create a naming alias to map the java:/RemoteJmsProvider to the local DefaultJmsProvider.  I'm not sure if this will work, but I've always ending up with a javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: RemoteJmsProvider not bound. Here is the naming alias I created in a *-service.xml file within my deploy directory: {code:xml} <mbean code="org.jboss.naming.NamingAlias"          name="jboss.mq:service=NamingAlias,fromName=RemoteJmsProvider">     <attribute name="FromName">RemoteJmsProvider</attribute>     <attribute name="ToName">DefaultJMSProvider</attribute> </mbean> {code} Is this a valid use of the naming alias?  Has anyone encountered similar issues? -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/586372#586372] Start a new discussion in JNDI and Naming at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
