I'm trying to connect to a JMS queue from a stateless session bean. I got the feeling I am missing something, I get a javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: jms/SyncQueue not found Here is what I have, my jms.xml has an entry like this: <jms-server port="9127"> <!--I tried with or without this queue-connection-factory, same error--> <queue-connection-factory location="jms/QueueConnectionFactory" /> <queue name="syncqueue" location="jms/SyncQueue"> <description>Some queue for testing</description> </queue> </jms-server> my ejb-jar.xml session bean has the following: <session> ... <resource-env-ref> <resource-env-ref-name>jms/SyncQueue</resource-env-ref-name> <resource-env-ref-type>javax.jms.Queue</resource-env-ref-type> </resource-env-ref> <resource-ref> <res-ref-name>jms/QueueConnectionFactory</res-ref-name> <res-type>javax.jms.QueueConnectionFactory</res-type> <res-auth>Container</res-auth> </resource-ref> </session> And the code in my session bean is as follow: .... context = new InitialContext(); QueueConnectionFactory queueConnectionFactory = (QueueConnectionFactory) context.lookup("java:comp/env/jms/QueueConnectionFactory"); /* The line below throws the javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: jms/SyncQueue not found */ Queue syncQueue = (Queue) context.lookup("java:comp/env/jms/SyncQueue"); .... I must be blind to something, what am I doing wrong ? Thanks, Christian
