We have an MDB which inside uses @EJB injection of stateless bean

@MessageDriven(name = "EJBExecutorMDB", activationConfig =

{ @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destinationType", propertyValue = "javax.jms.Queue"), @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destination", propertyValue = "queue/ExecutorQueue"), @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "acknowledgeMode", propertyValue = "AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE"), @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "maxSession", propertyValue = "4"), @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "maxPoolSize", propertyValue = "4"), @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "durability", propertyValue = "Durable") }

)
public class EJBExecutorMDB implements MessageListener {

@EJB
ProcessTrackInformationDAOLocal trackInfoAccess;

We have JMS queue with a lot of messages.
We start jboss and put EAR file to it. EAR begin to deploy and in that stage error occurs:
2006-03-01 10:26:23,081 ERROR [STDERR] javax.naming.NamingException: Could not dereference object [Root exception is javax.naming.NameNotFoundException: TrackInfoAccessLocal not bound]

What I see in log file that Injected EJB deployed after MDB:
—

After some time ERROR messages disappear and messages are processed.

If we don't have messages in queue before deployment then deploy finishes without errors and if after deployment end we push JMS messages there is no ERROR messages in log file.

One of workarounds is to use @Depends annotation. But in that case name of EAR and jar file should be used. And if we change name of EAR in that case it will be a mess.

I think MDB shouldn't take message from queue until dependency check of injected objects is performed. And this dependency check should be done automatically by server itself.
