qpid 0.28 + qpid jca + jboss 7 + spring 3.2.x (jms)

Hello,

I'm trying to figure out the best way to use qpid for messaging for a Java web 
application hosted on JBoss that uses the Spring framework.
So far, I am able to get things working if I specify something like this in my 
applicationContext.xml

        <bean id="qpidConnFactory" 
class="org.apache.qpid.client.AMQConnectionFactory">
                <constructor-arg name="url"
                        value="<using a properties file>" />
        </bean>
        <bean id="connectionFactory"
                
class="org.springframework.jms.connection.CachingConnectionFactory">
                <property name="targetConnectionFactory" ref="qpidConnFactory" 
/>
                <property name="sessionCacheSize" value="10" />
                <property name="cacheConsumers" value="false" />
                <property name="cacheProducers" value="false" />
        </bean>

However, I feel like it'd be even better if I could get JBoss to manage the 
qpid connections in some way.  I figure one way to achieve this is through qpid 
jca.  Unfortunately, I have not been having the best luck getting it to work.  
One issue I ran into was when Spring's SingleConnectionFactory tried to call 
setExceptionListener on the qpid connection, QpidRASessionFactoryImpl ends up 
throwing back an IllegalStateException.  Has anyone else gotten this type of 
setup to work?  Anyone got any pointers?  Is it even worth it to have JBoss 
manage the qpid connections?

Thanks
