Hi, I’m facing the exact same issue what is rerpoted in HORNETQ-2. I tried the jca-config example that comes with hornetq. Things worked fine as long as the network was connected and the moment I disconnected the server from the network and reconnected it, I got the below error in my server and after the mdb stopped consuming messages [exec] WARNING: Connection failure has been detected: Did not receive ping from /172.18.xxx.yyy:2100. It is likely the client has exited or crashed without closing its connection, or the network between the server and client has failed. The connection will now be closed. [code=3] Pls let me know how to fix this issue. Thanks!!! Environment Details: Windows Xp (Service Pack2) View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4268685#...
