Sure, the error I'm getting is included below, I haven't been able to find much relevant documentation on it, aside from this JIRA which doesn't go into the specifics of resolution.

Thanks,

Hi Marina,
That got us a little further but we're still having issues declaring the Singleton Startup via the xml descriptor.
Dan can you reply with the error you're seeing?

Our basketball MDB ingest application uses the metadata-complete="true" attribute b/c it includes a "common" jar that contains @MesssageDriven annotated classes we don't want to run in this particular app.
Hence we specify in the ejb-jar.xml file which MDBs we want to run.
We're having a problem figuring out how to declare an @Startup @Singleton bean via the ejb-jar.xml.
Can someone point me to an example for that?
