Great, thanks. [OT] BTW, if an SFSB has a ref to an XPC and the bean fails over, Hibernate logs a WARN when the bean context is deserialized from the cache: 14:36:32,244 WARN [SessionFactoryObjectFactory] Not found: ff808081117aea3701117aea37d40000 If the session factory has a name, then the deserialization continues on and succeeds. The WARN isn't a huge problem, since it only happens on failover, when a little bit of unusual stuff in the logs isn't terrible. But it's a rather cryptic message that's likely to lead to support questions. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4030834#...
