I don't like to push you off somewhere else when you're doing the right thing by discussing before opening a JIRA, but I'm concerned you may not get an answer because the people who need to see your post may not follow this forum. I personally can't answer your question, and I suspect the JBoss people who regularly post here can't either. You may have better luck on the EJB3 or JCA forums: http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewforum&f=221 http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewforum&f=136 View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3970495#...
