Hey Brian, Thanks for the pointers! Just a quick question once again (Just for confirmation, as I think I already know the answer). Consider this scenario: If JBoss Application Server is made highly available (ie I ensure that if JBoss AS 5 goes down on a particular node, I restart it with the same configuration on the same node or fail over on some other node of the cluster with the same confige (execute ./bin/run.sh )) then will the services running on JBoss would be restarted by JBoss itself? Also will JBoss take care of the aborted Transaction etc? Thanks again! View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4204494#...
