JMS / Message Driven Bean not processing message

Question

I am having a problem getting an MDB to work on Weblogic Server 7x.
          Basically I have written a simple Bean which simply prints a message.
          I have a JMS client which creates a message (javax.jms.TextMessage)
          and successfully adds it to the queue (javax.jms.Queue). The code
          looks as follows:
          public void sendText(String message) throws Exception
          TextMessage textMessage = getQueueSession().createTextMessage();
          System.out.println("Created Message: "+message);
          textMessage.clearBody();
          textMessage.setText(message);
          System.out.println("Sending Message");
          getQueueSender().send(textMessage);
          System.out.println("Sent Message");
          The message is getting onto the queue as we can monitor this from the
          weblogic console, everytime we run the JMS Test client the number of
          messages on the queue increases however these message never seem to be
          processed. Here is a sample of the ejb-jar.xml
          <message-driven>
          <display-name>JMSBatchReceiver</display-name>
          <ejb-name>JMSBatchReceiver</ejb-name>
          <ejb-class>com.batch.JMSBatchReceiverBean</ejb-class>
          <transaction-type>Container</transaction-type>
          <message-driven-destination>
          <destination-type>javax.jms.Queue</destination-type>
          </message-driven-destination>
          </message-driven>
          Here is a sample from the weblogic-ejb-jar.xml
          <weblogic-enterprise-bean>
          <ejb-name>JMSBatchReceiver</ejb-name>
          <message-driven-descriptor>
          <pool>
          <max-beans-in-free-pool>5</max-beans-in-free-pool>
          </pool>
          <destination-jndi-name>jms/BatchQueue</destination-jndi-name>
          <connection-factory-jndi-name>jms/BatchQueueConnectionFactory</connection-factory-jndi-name>
          </message-driven-descriptor>
          </weblogic-enterprise-bean>
          And here is an excerpt from the config.xml;
          <JMSConnectionFactory JNDIName="jms/BatchQueueConnectionFactory"
          Name="jms/BatchQueueConnectionFactory" Targets="myserver"/>
          <JMSServer Name="JMSBatchServer" Targets="myserver">
          <JMSQueue DeliveryModeOverride="Persistent"
          JNDIName="jms/BatchQueue" Name="jms/BatchQueue"/>
          </JMSServer>
          Any ideas.....
          Best Regards

Check the UserTransactions and XATransactions checkbox for your custom connection factory.
