How to configure a JMS Queue

Question

Hi,
I have an EAR file thai includes an EJB 3.0 module with a MDB. I use a Queue.
This is my code,
@Resource(mappedName = "jms/NotificationQueue")
private Queue notificationQueue;
@Resource(mappedName = "jms/NotificationQueueFactory")
private ConnectionFactory notificationQueueFactory;
public Customer update(Customer customer){
Customer updated = em.merge(customer);
try {
sendJMSMessageToNotificationQueue(updated);
} catch (JMSException ex) {
Logger.getLogger(CustomerSessionBean.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
System.out.println("Customer updated in CustomerSessionBean!");
return updated;
private Message createJMSMessageForjmsNotificationQueue(Session session, Object messageData) throws JMSException
//Modified to use ObjectMessage instead
ObjectMessage tm = session.createObjectMessage();
tm.setObject((Serializable) messageData);
return tm;
private void sendJMSMessageToNotificationQueue(Object messageData) throws JMSException
Connection connection = null;
Session session = null;
try
connection = notificationQueueFactory.createConnection();
session = connection.createSession(false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
MessageProducer messageProducer = session.createProducer(notificationQueue);
messageProducer.send(createJMSMessageForjmsNotificationQueue(session, messageData));
finally
if (session != null)
try
session.close();
catch (JMSException e)
Logger.getLogger(this.getClass().getName()).log(Level.WARNING, "Cannot close session", e);
if (connection != null)
connection.close();
layed inside a stateless EJB 3.0.
And the MDB looks as follow,
@MessageDriven(mappedName = "jms/NotificationQueue", activationConfig = {
@ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "acknowledgeMode", propertyValue = "Auto-acknowledge"),
@ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destinationType", propertyValue = "javax.jms.Queue")
public class NotificationBean implements MessageListener {
public NotificationBean() {
public void onMessage(Message message)
try
Object msgObj = ((ObjectMessage)message).getObject();
if (msgObj != null)
Customer customer = (Customer)msgObj;
System.out.println("Customer with the following details has been updated:");
StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
sb.append("Customer ID=");
sb.append(customer.getCustomerId());
sb.append(", ");
sb.append("Name=");
sb.append(customer.getName());
sb.append(", ");
sb.append("Email=");
sb.append(customer.getEmail());
System.out.println(sb.toString());
catch (JMSException ex)
Logger.getLogger(NotificationBean.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
I have configured both "jms/NotificationQueue" and "jms/NotificationQueueFactory" inside OC4J server.
But when I try to deploy the EAR file, the server gives me the following error,
Operation failed with error: No destination location set for message-driven bean NotificationBean
How must I do to let the EAR file be deployed?
Thanks in advance

I want to configure a error queue for weblogic jms topic. Wanted: The message goes to error destination when messages have expired or reached their redelivery limit.
1. using jms transport configure proxy service:
Retry Count :3
Retry Interval:10
Error Destination: ErrorTopic
Expiration olicy: RedirectUnlike File/SFTP, JMS proxy service definition does not have the concept of Error Destination. To accomplish similar functionality go to JMSQ on (for which proxy is configured) server console (http://localhost:7001/console) and configure the Error Destination. Following URL will help in how to configure JMS Q.

http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs103/ConsoleHelp/taskhelp/jms_modules/queues/ConfigureQueueDeliveryFailure.html
I tried use the proxy service to consume message from the jms topic . and generation an error in the proxy message flow. But the message didn't goes into the error topic.If every thing is configured as per above step, then the after retries, the weblogic server will put the message into JMS topic configured. Your proxy will receive from this topic.
Let me know if we are not on same page.
