Got it. Need to step through that a little slower. Thanks for the reply. Before I post another thread, I see that the docs say Connector has a default "socketTimeout" of 60000, but the default jboss-service.xml -- at least the one that was packaged with the 4.2.0 and 4.2.2 that I have, has this set at 600000. Beginning to think that's my issue and going to try a 60000 setting to see if that cleans things up a bit and more quickly frees up the WorkerThreads for re-use. http://labs.jboss.com/jbossremoting/docs/guide/ch05.html#d0e2491 493 <attribute name="Configuration"> | 494 <!-- Using the following <invoker> element instead of the InvokerLocator above because specific attributes needed. --> | 495 <!-- If wanted to use any of the parameters below, can just add them as parameters to the url above if wanted use the InvokerLocator attribute. --> | 496 <config> | 497 <!-- Other than transport type and handler, none of these configurations are required (will just use defaults). --> | 498 <invoker transport="socket"> | 499 <attribute name="dataType" isParam="true">invocation</attribute> | 500 <attribute name="marshaller" isParam="true">org.jboss.invocation.unified.marshall.InvocationMarshaller</attribute> | 501 <attribute name="unmarshaller" isParam="true">org.jboss.invocation.unified.marshall.InvocationUnMarshaller</attribute> | 502 <!-- This will be port on which the marshall loader port runs on. --> | 503 <!-- <attribute name="loaderport" isParam="true">4447</attribute> --> | 504 <!-- The following are specific to socket invoker --> | 505 <!-- <attribute name="numAcceptThreads">1</attribute>--> | 506 <!-- <attribute name="maxPoolSize">303</attribute>--> | 507 <!-- <attribute name="clientMaxPoolSize" isParam="true">304</attribute>--> | 508 <attribute name="socketTimeout" isParam="true">600000</attribute> | Should a Jira issue be created to modify the socketTimeout in jboss-service.xml that ships in the default distribution? (or maybe the docs need to change?) Thanks again for the speedy reply! -John View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4135033#...
