Accepted Answer

Problem is that you are trying to deploy application with MDBs to standalone.xml configuration that does not have messaging support enabled. (messaging subsystem is missing)

if you would run server with standalone-full.xml it would work.

you can do that by running:

```
./standalone.sh -c standalone-full.xml
```

on linux or

```
standalone.bat -c standalone-full.xml
```

on windows
