Hi thanks for the replies. This is a non-clustered destination. Regarding the db connection problems: why would that occur? The connections are under the control of the jboss messaging. Can you post a recommended postgres-persistence-service.xml -- I have tried ones from the samples and the distributions and so far they all have issues when using with non-clustered durable destinations View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4224124#...
