Hi Doychin, Thank you for your interesting and useful analysis. Note, by the way, that org.jboss.remoting.transport.socket.SocketServerInvoker has a facility for periodically closing ServerThreads that haven't been used lately. Setting the parameter "idleTimeout=n", where n > 0, will cause a TimerTask to wake up every n seconds and close each ServerThread that hasn't executed an invocation in the past n seconds. -Ron View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4199013#...
