Hi Vicky,
I was able to create a JCA Source connector and for the basic it works :)
What is happening I guess is much more related on how ORB is creating and handling instances internally.
To be more clear first time I start JBoss with my connector everything works well and I see (as I request it into jacorb properties file) the banner of Jacorb following the initialization of orb instance using ORB.init. See the sample below

Then I shut down the application that is using the source connector and I restart it. At this point I saw two time the banner printed like the initial instance has not been destroyed correctly.

I guess that I'm missing some "basic" stuff here... maybe I'm not disposing the orb instance properly.
