WL guru's - message bean not receiving messages from JMS

[Greg Garrison]

On weblogic 6.2 simple message bean does not receive the messages sent to a queue. The weblogic console states that there are 24 messages in the queue and 15 consumers but sending a message does not trigger the onMessage function. Here is the code and deployment descriptors:
Message bean:
package testbeans;
import javax.ejb.*;
import javax.jms.*;
public class TextMessageBean implements MessageDrivenBean, MessageListener {

MessageDrivenContext ejbContext;

public void ejbRemove() throws EJBException {
System.out.println("Exiting TextMessageBean");
ejbContext = null;
}

public void ejbCreate() {

System.out.println("inside TextMessageBean.ejbCreate");
}
public void setMessageDrivenContext(MessageDrivenContext arg0) throws EJBException {

ejbContext = arg0;
System.out.println("inside TextMessageBean.setMessageDrivenContext");

}
public void onMessage(Message message) {

System.out.println("inside TextMessageBean.onMessage");


}
}
