Issue

  • How do I set user/password for MDB in JBoss EAP?

  • We tried the following ejb-jar.xml for our MDB:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ejb-jar
        xmlns="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee"
        xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
        xsi:schemaLocation="http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee
                            http://java.sun.com/xml/ns/javaee/ejb-jar_3_0.xsd"
        version="3.0">
   <description>JBoss Message Driven</description>
   <display-name>JBoss Message Driven Bean</display-name>
   <enterprise-beans>
      <message-driven>
          <ejb-name>MyMessageBean</ejb-name>
          <ejb-class>com.foo.MyMessageBean</ejb-class>
          <transaction-type>Bean</transaction-type>
          <message-destination-type>javax.jms.Queue</message-destination-type>
          <activation-config>   
               <activation-config-property>
                    <activation-config-property-name>acknowledgeMode</activation-config-property-name>
                    <activation-config-property-value>AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE</activation-config-property-value>
               </activation-config-property>
               <activation-config-property>
                    <activation-config-property-name>username</activation-config-property-name>
                    <activation-config-property-value>john</activation-config-property-value>
               </activation-config-property>
               <activation-config-property>
                    <activation-config-property-name>password</activation-config-property-name>
                    <activation-config-property-value>needle</activation-config-property-value>
               </activation-config-property>
        </activation-config>
      </message-driven>
   </enterprise-beans>
</ejb-jar>

    However, we are receiving this error upon deployment:

    --- MBEANS THAT ARE THE ROOT CAUSE OF THE PROBLEM ---
ObjectName: jboss.j2ee:ear=MY-EAR.ear,jar=MY-EJB.jar,name=MyMessageBean,service=EJB3
  State: FAILED
  Reason: org.jboss.deployment.DeploymentException: Error for ActivationSpec class org.jboss.resource.adapter.jms.inflow.JmsActivationSpec as JavaBean; - nested throwable: (java.beans.IntrospectionException: No property found for: username on JavaBean: org.jboss.resource.adapter.jms.inflow.JmsActivationSpec@250179(ra=null destination=queue/MyQueue isTopic=false tx=true durable=false reconnect=10 provider=java:/DefaultJMSProvider user=null pass=<not shown> maxMessages=1 minSession=1 maxSession=15 keepAlive=60000 useDLQ=true DLQHandler=org.jboss.resource.adapter.jms.inflow.dlq.GenericDLQHandler DLQJndiName=queue/DLQ DLQUser=null DLQMaxResent=5))

Resolution

  • You can set user and password by the @ActivationConfigProperty annotation in your application code:

    @MessageDriven(name = "HelloWorldQueueMDB", activationConfig = {
    @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destinationType", propertyValue = "javax.jms.Queue"),
    @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destination", propertyValue = "queue/HELLOWORLDMDBQueue"),
    @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "user", propertyValue = "quickstartUser"),
    @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "password", propertyValue = "quickstartPwd1!"),
    @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "acknowledgeMode", propertyValue = "Auto-acknowledge") })
public class HelloWorldQueueMDB implements MessageListener {
    ...(snip)...

    or the activation configuration properties in your ejb-jar.xml:

      ...
  <message-driven>
      ...(snip)...
      <activation-config>   
           <activation-config-property>
                <activation-config-property-name>acknowledgeMode</activation-config-property-name>
                <activation-config-property-value>AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE</activation-config-property-value>
           </activation-config-property>
           <activation-config-property>
                <activation-config-property-name>user</activation-config-property-name>
                <activation-config-property-value>quickstartUser</activation-config-property-value>
           </activation-config-property>
           <activation-config-property>
                <activation-config-property-name>password</activation-config-property-name>
                <activation-config-property-value>quickstartPwd1!</activation-config-property-value>
           </activation-config-property>
      </activation-config>
  </message-driven>
  ...

  • Please note that the activation configuration property is not username but user.
