I decompiled the method that was throwing the exception and can include it if someone wants to see it .... i am fairly new to jboss and i can only assume that some jboss setting is taking precedents. I am trying to hook up as a consumer off an IBM MQ... I have been working at this for several days now and cant figure this one out...any help would be greatly appreciated. -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/550871#550871] Start a new discussion in JBoss Messaging at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
