MDB help with regards to naming of topic?

Question

I am preparing for SCBCD and the EJB3.0 book from oreilly fails to mention how to configure a MDB to listen to a specific topic?
Lets say messages are being sent to topic "myTopic" how sould I configure a MDB bean to lsiten for that topic?
Many thanks

No. I seem to be looking at the actual book here and the link you posted does not cover the crux of my issue which is:
"How do you configure the MDB to listen to a specific topic?"
The actual book (Have it in front of me) on page 268 of the 5th edition only defines the activationConfig attribute of the @MessageDriven() annotaion as follows:
@MessageDriven(activationConfig = {
                @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destinationType", propertyValue = "javax.jms.Que"),
                @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "messageSelector", propertyValue = "MesaageFormat='version3.4'"}),
                @ActivationConfig(propertyName = "acknowledgeMode", propertyValue = "Auto-Acknowledge"))Ok so we have a MDB that listens to messages from a QUE but which QUE? all Que's?
I also found this in EJB 3 in Action book:
@MessageDriven(
    name="ShippingRequestProcessor",
    activationConfig = {
        @ActivationConfigProperty(
            propertyName="destinationType",
            propertyValue="javax.jms.Queue"),
        @ActivationConfigProperty(
            propertyName="connectionFactoryJndiName",
            propertyValue="jms/QueueConnectionFactory"
        @ActivationConfigProperty(
            propertyName="destinationName",
            propertyValue="jms/ShippingRequestQueue")
)Here they use destinationName hich I think is what I am looking for but unsure on how this maps in xml? Jboss uses destination but shoudl it not be destination-name?
