The deployments seems ok as far as I can acertain. When I undeploy the Node ear from the Master jboss, the lookup to the remote Node works perfectly. If there was a problem with it not getting the remote instance, it should have produced an error in this case. But it gets the remote instance and executes without problem. Interesting thing is, starting Master JBoss without the node causes getting the remote Node. Hot deploying Node into master, still get remote node. Restart JBoss and I get the local Node again, not master. It's as if once I get a context, it doesn't get re-created, even though I did acquire a new context. Is it possible that the Context is a Singleton and that subsequent retrieval of contexts always return the same instance, regardless of the parameters I pass when asking for the context?
