When I start the server with a deployed application (EAR archive) the MDB setup is causing a NullPointerException.
The MDB uses annotations rather than declarative XML for it's configuration.

Currently the hornetq implementation HornetQActivation expects the HornetQActivationSpec to be configured using properties. These properties are destination and acknowlegment type.
This test case shows the implementation is expecting the properties.

hornetq-2-2-7/examples/javaee/mdb-cmt-tx-not-supported/src/org/hornetq/javaee/example/server/MDB_CMT_TxNotSupported.java

However the JEE6 tutorial shows a table of the allowed properties for application and these two are not listed. I checked the spec to make sure.
