I see many issues/bugs related to default pingPeriod and pingTimeout very low. There are bugs in JBossMessaging, etc that uses BiSocket. If so, why dont we just change the defaults for ConnectionValidator to be 10 seconds and 5 seconds to begin with...Ofcourse, allow anybody to override it, if they need to. But, the defaults should be meaningful to begin with. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4207436#...
