Hi David, Correct me if I am wrong. In short what you are suggesting is to create a JMS-deployment plan, and deploy it on Geronimo 1.0. I change the "ServerUrl" to point to the active MQ module on my remote server. Please refer to the plan below: My JMS deployment plan is something like: myJMSResources tcp://remote_server_name:61616 geronimo geronimo DefaultWorkManager javax.jms.ConnectionFactory MyQueueConnectionFactory javax.jms.QueueConnectionFactory javax.jms.TopicConnectionFactory 5 3000 javax.jms.Queue org.codehaus.activemq.message.ActiveMQQueue Queue1 Queue1 Also I refer to these resources in my web.xml as MyQueueConnectionFactory javax.jms.ConnectionFactory Container Shareable Queue1 javax.jms.Queue Produces Queue1 Let me know if this is correct ??? I am using Geronimo 1.0 , and active MQ 3.2.2 -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/How-to-refer-to-an-external-resource-from-web.xml-tf2069514.html#a5698227 Sent from the Apache Geronimo - Users forum at Nabble.com.
