Colin, yeah, the clustered setting always gets me too. Glad you have it up and running. And I also wondered about the error message regarding the SQL statements. I haven't dug into it that much but I suspect that the text of the message is misleading - the SQL statement is obviously there. I never looked for the file in the source distro, looks like the script that pulls the source distro together gets the wrong version of the persistence file. Tim, could the persistence service xml files be included as part of JBoss AS 5 binary? Perhaps in docs/examples/jms?
