I'll take your word Kabir :) (I have had similar bumps earlier which wasted hell lot of time for some reasons you can't even imagine..) Anyway, coming back to the problem, just to recap - 1. As NamingServer isn't a MBean, I can't use MBean notifications 2. As JBoss's JNDI NamingContext doesn't implement javax.naming.event.EventContext, I can't use the naming notification framework 3. I can't go with AOP either I think I am back to square one! I am running out of ideas!! View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3986130#...
