The JMXConnectorUnitTestCase is the oldest bug in the JBoss5 testsuite. I don't think it has ever worked since Tom never finished his JSR160 implementation and it makes bad assumptions about how the JDK version (which we now use) does things. As I explain on the JIRA issue, http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBAS-5691 I think we should just remove the one remaining test since it is testing the JDK implementation not anything within JBoss. -- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Adrian Brock Chief Scientist JBoss, a division of Red Hat xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
