If I follow your instructions exactly I can replicate the issue. However it looks like you skipped a stage in the installation of messaging2 - you need to give it a unique server id. http://labs.jboss.com/file-access/default/members/jbossmessaging/freezone... Since both servers have got the same server id the client side resource manager thinks there is only one server and sends all the work to be processed on one - hence the issue. After giving messaging2 a unique server id it works for me: | run: | [java] Queue JBossQueue[A] exists | [java] Queue JBossQueue[B] exists | [java] The message was successfully sent to the A queue | [java] The message was successfully sent to the A queue | [java] The message was successfully sent to the A queue | [java] The message was successfully sent to the A queue | [java] The message was successfully sent to the A queue | [java] The message was successfully sent to the A queue | [java] The message was successfully sent to the A queue | [java] The message was successfully sent to the A queue | [java] The message was successfully sent to the A queue | [java] The message was successfully sent to the A queue | [java] The message was received successfully from the B queue | [java] The message was received successfully from the B queue | [java] The message was received successfully from the B queue | [java] The message was received successfully from the B queue | [java] The message was received successfully from the B queue | [java] The message was received successfully from the B queue | [java] The message was received successfully from the B queue | [java] The message was received successfully from the B queue | [java] The message was received successfully from the B queue | [java] The message was received successfully from the B queue | [java] The example connected to JBoss Messaging version 1.4.0.CR3 (1.4) | | [java] ##################### | [java] ### SUCCESS! ### | [java] ##################### | | undeploy: | [delete] Deleting: /home/tim/dev/jboss-4.2.1.GA/server/messaging/deploy/test-bridge-service.xml | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4087487#...
