Deployment of message driven bean in geronimo 2.0-m5

[Bruno Aranda]

Hi there,

I am testing ejb 3.0 message driven beans and I was trying to deploy
in geronimo a simple jar containing a simple MDB. I am not using the
ejb-jar.xml as I want the container to discover the class. Whenever I
try to deploy it with the console, I get a NullPointerException when
deploying the ejb:

14:33:10,962 ERROR [GBeanInstanceState] Error while starting; GBean is
now in the FAILED state:

It seems that the nullpointer is due to the EjbJarBuilder returning
null for "ejbInfo.containerId"...

Any ideas? Is this supposed to work?

This is my simple class, packaged in a jar:


@MessageDriven(name="jms/testQueue",
       activationConfig = {
       @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "acknowledgeMode",
propertyValue = "Auto-acknowledge"),
       @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destinationType",
propertyValue = "javax.jms.Queue")
    })
public class MessageConsumer implements MessageListener
{
   public void onMessage(Message message)
   {
      System.out.println("MESSAGE! ");
   }
}


Thank you in advance,

Bruno
