Looking at the forum threads, you are not the first one to complain about this http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=151427 So i guess, there's definitely some issue here. I have tried to reproduce this locally but haven't been successful yet. Could you please look at that other thread and provide the similar details i asked for. Also, could you try reproducing this against JBossAS-5.1.0? View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4239793#...
