This is my first foray into using JMS. I have a successfully created/deployed a war file that contains a servlet that I can use to upload files. When a file is uploaded it sends a message to a JMS queue. Next I wrote a listener to retrieve the uploaded messages from the queue, but when I try to deploy it, I get this error:
SEVERE: Invalid ejb jar [file-listener-ejb-1.0.jar]: it contains zero ejb.
Note:
1. A valid ejb jar requires at least one session, entity (1.x/2.x style), or message- driven bean.
2. EJB3+ entity beans (@Entity) are POJOs and please package them as library jar.
3. If the jar file contains valid EJBs which are annotated with EJB component level annotations (@Stateless, @Stateful, @MessageDriven, @Singleton), please check server.log to see whether the annotations were processed properly.

It's a very simple project with one class, built using Maven. The class looks like this:
package my.package;
import javax.ejb.ActivationConfigProperty;
import javax.ejb.MessageDriven;
import javax.jms.JMSException;
import javax.jms.Message;
import javax.jms.MessageListener;
import javax.jms.ObjectMessage;
import org.slf4j.Logger;
import org.slf4j.LoggerFactory;
@MessageDriven(mappedName = "jms/FileUploadedQueue", activationConfig = {
@ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "acknowledgeMode", propertyValue = "Auto-acknowledge"),
@ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "destinationType", propertyValue = "javax.jms.Queue") })
public class FileListener implements MessageListener
{
private static Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(FileListener.class);
public FileListener()
{
// empty constructor
}
public void onMessage(Message message)
{
try
{
log.info("Received message: " + ((TextMessage)message).getText());
}
catch (JMSException ex)
{
String error = "Received error code '"
+ ex.getErrorCode()
+ "' retrieving message from queue jms/FileUploadedQueue.";
Exception linkedEx = ex.getLinkedException();
if (linkedEx != null)
{
log.error(error += "Linked exception: ", linkedEx);
}
else
{
log.error(error, linkedEx);
}
}
}
}
My pom.xml looks like this:

This builds a jar file which when I try to deploy to my Glassfish 3.1 server (via the admin console) results in the above error.
Since I have the @MessageDriven annotation on my class, I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Unfortunately, the server.log file does not contain any more details about the error.
Should I be packaging the jar in an ear and deploying that?
----------EDIT----------
I created an ear which includes the ejb jar, and I get the same error when I deploy the ear to Glassfish. So, I think it must be something to do with the annotation. However, I've looked at multiple examples/tutorials and I can't see what's wrong.
Any insights/suggestions would be most welcome!!

Does your jar file contain an ejb-jar.xml file? If it was missing, then it could explain why the whole thing explodes upon deploy
