WLS6.0 MDB descriptor doc conficting with EJB2.0 DTD ??

[Alan Tang]

Hi,

Check the documentation on WLS6.0 at
http://edocs.bea.com/wls/docs60/ejb/message_beans.html#1055232 and you'll
see the following:

<message-driven-destination>
<jms-destination-type>
javax.jms.Topic
</jms-destination-type>
</message-driven-destination>

yet, EJB2.0 spec clearly defines that JMS destination should be in
<destination-type> tag, as described in
http://java.sun.com/dtd/ejb-jar_2_0.dtd.

Typo? I wish! If I use the latter, my WLS6.0SP2 refuses to load my MDB,
giving the following exception:

<Apr 24, 2002 10:26:32 PM EDT> <Error> <J2EE> <Error deploying EJB Component
: n2pMsgBean
weblogic.ejb20.EJBDeploymentException: Failed to parse

umn: 27

weblogic.apache.xerces.framework.XMLParser.reportError(XMLParser.java:1008)

What's going on ??? Am I the only one here having this problem?

When 6.0 was released, the spec was not final and the tag was actually,
<jms-destination-type>. Sun changed that and the 6.1 releases reflect the change
as they reflect the final release of the spec. 6.0 is based on the draft.
