I have now changed the test to wait for messages, and it doesn't fail for messages out of order any more. However, the test still fails (more rarely though). I have seen the recursive call a couple of times when running the test in loop, and some times a waitingForBinding failure as I have seen eventually in other tests. I would say the test fails 1 in 50 now. Sometimes I see the exception even though the test doesn't fail. View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4219604#...
