Hi David,

Thank you for taking the time to document this on the Wiki. It does help, however, the struggle I have (and I assume I am not alone) is, as a new user approaching Geronimo deployment plans from "other" Java OSS AS containers, I am trying to create a simple MDB "Hello World" with the following artifacts:

- Complete EAR application deployment plan/descriptor
- Complete EJB deployment plan/descriptor sample
- Fully configured ConnectionFactory and Queue/Topic Destinations (either
with a deployment plan or from within the console)

Such that a deployment, from either the command line or the console, deploys
without error - and I'm just not there yet.  Although this document
certainly clarifies several things for me, I'm still confounded by the
"Geronimo ear plan contains modules that aren't in the ear: false" error.
that's pretty confusing ;-( Maybe I can figure out what it's trying to say.


I will continue to work through this and would be happy to add to the Wiki page, or contribute the Hello World MDB sample app back to the Community,
assuming I get there...

I haven't checked if it actually works yet but I'm pretty sure the jms- mdb-sample deploys OK with the plan generated by building with maven. (I think this will work with samples/branches/2.1 but haven't checked. I'm more confident about samples/trunk which works with geronimo server trunk (2.2-SNAPSHOT)). After checking out all of samples/trunk (or branches/2.1) build it with maven and look in samples/jms-mdb-sample/jms-mdb-sample-jetty/target/resources/META-INF/ plan.xml for the plan to use.

This app does include the jms configuration right in the ear which works fine although I don't think its as flexible as having it in a separate plugin.

hope this helps

Thanks again, you're a big help to people like me.
