This works for me: i pack all in one single ear: the code, and the myqueue-service.xml (this one must be mentioned in the jboss-app.xml in order toget deployed). You should not deploy the queue in the singleton-deploy folder, but in the farm folder (like any other code). Since it depends on jms, it will only be "running" on _the_ cluster-coordinator (that runs jms in jboss 4), but all other nodes will be able to subscribe or produce into that queue. If you want a queue that is only visible on one single node, perhaps you should think it over, and change it into service holding a java-util-Queue.
