EJB 3.0 MDB deployment issue with weblogic 10.0

Question

Hi there,
I am new to MDB EJB and right now I am using the EJB 3.0 with weblogic server 10.0. I am using Eclipse 3.4 for development.
After developing the MDB from eclipse I export the EAR from eclipse and deploy it in weblogic. When I try to start the deployed EAR it gives me following error.
weblogic.application.ModuleException: Exception preparing module: EJBModule(Message.jar)
Unable to deploy EJB: MessageBean from Message.jar:
[EJB:011113]Error: The Message Driven Bean 'MessageBean(Application: MessageEAR, EJBComponent: Message.jar)', does not have a message destination configured. The message destination must be set using a message-destination-link, destination-resource-link, destination-jndi-name or a resource-adapter-jndi-name.

here is the code for my bean.
package com.ups;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
import javax.ejb.ActivationConfigProperty;
import javax.ejb.EJBException;
import javax.ejb.MessageDriven;
import javax.ejb.MessageDrivenContext;
import javax.jms.JMSException;
import javax.jms.Message;
import javax.jms.MessageListener;
import javax.jms.TextMessage;
* Message-Driven Bean implementation class for: MessageBean
@MessageDriven(
          activationConfig = { @ActivationConfigProperty(
                    propertyName = "destinationType", propertyValue = "javax.jms.Queue"
public class MessageBean implements MessageListener {
     private MessageDrivenContext mdc;
* Default constructor.
public MessageBean() {
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
* @see MessageListener#onMessage(Message)
public void onMessage(Message message) {
     TextMessage tmsg = null;
try {
tmsg = (TextMessage) message;
System.out.println("MESSAGE BEAN: Message received: " + tmsg.getText( ));
System.out.println ("The onMessage() is called");
} catch (JMSException e) {
e.printStackTrace( );
mdc.setRollbackOnly( );
catch (Throwable th) {
th.printStackTrace();
public void ejbRemove( )throws EJBException{
     System.out.println("ejbRemove() is executed >>>>>>>");
I have configured my JMS Distributed queue in the Weblogic.
If possible please provide more details so that I can get rid of this error as soon as possible.
Thanks for reply.
