See this article for a description of how to connect Glassfish 3 to an ActiveMQ 5 broker, and consume messages using a Message Driven Bean: http://geertschuring.wordpress.com/2012/04/20/how-to-connect-glassfish-3-to-activemq-5/

Glassfish 4.1

1. Add resource adapter
   
   1. Download the resource-adapter file suitable to your broker version:
      http://repo1.maven.org/maven2/org/apache/activemq/activemq-rar/

   2. Deploy the  resource adapter with the name "activemq-rar"

      bin/asadmin deploy --type rar --name activemq-rar /tmp/activemq-rar-5.11.1.rar

   3. Configure resource adapter
      (Failover Setup)

      bin/asadmin create-resource-adapter-config   \
        --property ServerUrl='failover\:(tcp\://broker-c1.foobar.local\:61616,tcp\://broker-c2.foobar.local\:61616,tcp\://broker-c3.foobar.local\:61616)?initialReconnectDelay\=2000&jms.useCompression\=true':UserName='admin':Password='admin' activemq-rar

2.  Create connector connection pool

   bin/asadmin create-connector-connection-pool \
     --raname activemq-rar \
     --connectiondefinition javax.jms.ConnectionFactory \
     --ping true --isconnectvalidatereq true \
     jms/myConnectionPool

3. Create a connector resource (JNDI-Mapping for connection pool)

   bin/asadmin create-connector-resource \
     --poolname jms/myConnectionPool \
     jms/myConnectionFactory

4. Configure JNDI mapping for a queue

   bin/asadmin create-admin-object \
   	  --raname activemq-rar \
     --restype javax.jms.Queue \
     --property PhysicalName=MY.MAGIC.OUT \
     jms/queue/MY.MAGIC.OUT
   

5. Deploy your message driven beans and use the configured jndi names
