The problem with that is.. - if you have a remote Server... - if you don't have a cluster connection factory (i.e. no failover) The server will hang on a shutdown, case the remote server was shut before the client. Because that I was checking for FailoverControlCenter on the Exception handler: | ConnectionState connectionState = (ConnectionState)(consumerState.getParent().getParent()); | // if ServerPeer is shutdown or | // if there is no failover in place... we just close the consumerState as well | if (proxiedException instanceof MessagingShutdownException || | (connectionState.getFailoverCommandCenter() == null)) | { | if (!consumerState.getClientConsumer().isClosed()) | { | consumerState.getClientConsumer().close(-1); | } | } | throw proxiedException; | } | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4099883#...
