a Message driven bean that implements MessageListener in a superclass is considered invalid.

I have:

public abstract class AsynchReplyManager implements MessageListener {
public void onMessage(Message message)

...}

@MessageDriven(mappedName = "myMappedName")
public class MyMessageDrivenBean extends AsynchReplyManager {
...
}

The deployment validator complains that:

"MyMessageDrivenBean does not implement 1 interface nor specifies message listener interface"

I think it should deal with the validator here:
