JBoss development, A new message was posted in the thread "How do I shutdown JMS-connection for ClusteredConnectionFactory": http://community.jboss.org/message/521295#521295 Author : Yong Hao Gao Profile : http://community.jboss.org/people/gaohoward Message: -------------------------------------------------------------- Hi Simo,   Each time you create a connection, the client will get a new connection to one of your cluster servers. That means for each connection got from createTopicConnection(), you need to close it.   if you have the output of lsof/tcpdump that can prove the connection ping, can you post here so I can have a better understanding of the issue?   Thanks Howard -------------------------------------------------------------- To reply to this message visit the message page: http://community.jboss.org/message/521295#521295
