Websphere v6 and Jboss

Question

I'm trying to migrate an app to WEbsphere 6 from jboss 4. I can't get the MDB's to work. It seems like although there was only two blocks of XML to add in the jbossmq-destinations-service.xml, one for my topic and one for my queue, there is all sorts of things you must do in weblogic. all of the websphere documentation has you using the websphere GUI tools, however this app uses the maven directory structure and will continue to do so as the app needs to support both weblogic and jboss in the future. So i guess this is not truely a migration but a way to ensure compatibility.
anyone who has done this, any tips would be appreciated.

Chris,
IBM changed the JTA/JTA packaging between 5.0 and 5.1. The source is provided for JTSExternalTransactionController_5_0 in the source.jar. You will need to create a custom 5.1 version of this class for your usage.
In the 5.0 class you will see:
     protected final static String TX_MANAGER_FACTORY_CLASS =
          "com.ibm.ejs.jts.jta.TransactionManagerFactory";It is this value that need to change for the new packages in 5.1 and 6.0. Here is the subclass we provided in 9.0.4 that you can use to solve your problem.
public class JTSExternalTransactionController_5_1 extends JTSExternalTransactionController_5_0 {
  // Overwrite super value in the scope of this class, i.e JTSExternalTransactionController_5_1.TX_MANAGER_FACTORY_CLASS
  // Reference to the same static attribute returns the value respected to the scope of the class that the calling method is in.
     protected final static String TX_MANAGER_FACTORY_CLASS =
          "com.ibm.ws.Transaction.TransactionManagerFactory";
   * INTERNAL: overwrite super method to use different tx manager.
  protected String getTxManagerFactoryClassName() {
    return this.TX_MANAGER_FACTORY_CLASS;
