1. I think we agree that the registration of the EPR should *not* be done in the thread. 2. However as Esteban pointed out that if we register multiple listeners in different address spaces we still have a problem. And I think it is actually useful to know from a registry position that we have mutliple physical listeners, for load balancing and failover scenarios. So should we have these listeners register as 'different' EPRs of the same service? --Kurt View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3990812#...
