Sorry for taking so long to reply. The auto notification for your response got swallowed in my spam filter. I removed java: from the remote provider lookup and the bridge started without any exceptions. I posted a message to my local queue and I don't know what happened to it. It is not on the queue (when I list messages using jmx-console) and it is not on the remote queue either. And it was not consumed by my remote service because I undeployed the consumer, so I don't know what is happening to the message. It seems to be disappearing. I am not using the latest remoting jar you referenced. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4079764#...
