<jms-durable-subscription-name> vs. <activation-config-property-name> ?

Is it preferred to specify the durable subscription name using the <jms-durable-subscription-name> or as a activation-config property?

Is one way for backward compatibility? Which is preferred?

Also, is it possible to define a subscription to a topic at the MQ level rather than in a bean deployment descriptor? This doesn't seem to be an option.

The connection pool connector-resource takes a ClientId property, but lacks a corresponding way of entering the subscription name. Aren't both ClientID and SubscriptionName required?
