How to map commonj.work.WorkManager with weblogic 10.3 Work Manager - weblogic-10.x

Question

I am trying to use WorkManagers in Weblogic 10.3. I have defined work managers in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml. I declared a resource reference for commonj.work.WorkManager in ejb-jar.xml with the res-ref-name same as the Work manager defined in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml. Here I am posting the code
MDB
package test;
import javax.annotation.Resource;
import javax.ejb.MessageDriven;
import javax.jms.JMSException;
import javax.jms.Message;
import javax.jms.MessageListener;
import javax.jms.ObjectMessage;
import javax.jms.TextMessage;
import commonj.work.WorkManager;
#MessageDriven(mappedName="TEST_Q", name="MDBWithWorkManager", activationConfig = {
#javax.ejb.ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "acknowledgeMode", propertyValue = "Auto-acknowledge"),
#javax.ejb.ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destinationType", propertyValue = "javax.jms.Queue"),
#javax.ejb.ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "transactionType", propertyValue = "Container")
})
public class MDBWithWorkManager implements MessageListener {
#Resource(mappedName="TestWorkManager")
private WorkManager workManager;
#Override
public void onMessage(Message arg0) {
System.out.println("onMessage() called ");
System.out.println("workManager : "+workManager);
if(arg0 instanceof TextMessage){
TextMessage msg= (TextMessage)arg0;
try {
System.out.println("Message received-->"+msg.getText());
} catch (JMSException e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
}
}

Getting the following error while deploying

Answer 1

Try adding res-ref to the actual jndi name mapping in weblogic-ejb-jar.xml for MDBWithWorkManager
something like this,
<resource-description>
<res-ref-name>TestWorkManager</res-ref-name>
<jndi-name>jndiNameOfTestWorkManager</jndi-name>
</resource-description>

Answer 2

believe what you need is to define a "map"-element called <dispatch-policy> within your bean def - like:
<weblogic-enterprise-bean>
<ejb-name>MDBWithWorkManager</ejb-name>
</weblogic-enterprise-bean>
change it to:
<weblogic-enterprise-bean>
<ejb-name>MDBWithWorkManager</ejb-name>
<dispatch-policy>TestWorkManager</dispatch-policy>
</weblogic-enterprise-bean>
