Thanks for your reply. The "no feedback" was referring to the fact
that none of the JMS tables were being created, no activity was being
done in the database, and I wasn't getting any exceptions. So,
everything "looked" OK, but it definitely wasn't.

When I examined the mbean in the JMX console, I got this:

javax.servlet.ServletException: Failed to get MBean data
org.jboss.jmx.adaptor.html.HtmlAdaptorServlet.inspectMBean(HtmlAdaptorServlet.java:187)

============

But, I figured out the problem. The problem was in my three files:
ejb-deployer.xml, firebird-jdbc2-service.xml and
firebird-jdbc-state-service.xml.

In each file, I had something that looked like this:

jboss.jca:service=DatasourceBinding,name=DefaultDS

The problem is that the firebird-ds.xml doesn't define a standard
datasource. This entry needed to be:

jboss.jca:service=ConnectionFactoryBinding,name=DefaultDS

Whilest that may seem to be a newbie mistake, there are no samples
anywhere that gave me a hint that I needed to use
ConnectionFactoryBinding instead of DatasourceBinding. I am after all
creating a datasource. Oh well - I've at least solved my problem.

Thanks,
