I cleaned up the deployment code in the test layer to properly cleanup the failed test as this was causing every other test to fail due to the previous incomplete deployment. We either need - a fix from messaging, not likely as the code is ready to go out the door - exclude this property - use a demand state="Configured" depends: | <bean name="HAJNDI" class="org.jboss.ha.jndi.HANamingService"> | ... | <property name="distributedTreeManager"> | <bean class="org.jboss.ha.jndi.impl.jbc.JBossCacheDistributedTreeManager"> | <property name="clusteredCache"><inject bean="HAPartitionCacheHandler" property="cache"/></property> | <demand state="Configured">HAPartition</demand> | </bean> | </property> | I don't think we have mapped this type of dependency onto mbean services, but I'll check.
