Hi, Jboss remoting version - 1.4.1 I noticed a problem that happens sometimes when I start a connector. The sequence of steps that I do is a) Create teh connector (succeeds correctly). b) Start the connector (Fails with a JVM_BIND). When I get the above exception, I call the connector.stop() expecting the connector context to be cleared out properly. However, when I call connector.create() again for the locatorURI, I get an exception stating that this URI is already connected to another connector. When I stepped through the jboss remoting code, I noticed that the InvokerRegistry still has the entry for the ServerSocketInvoker object. It looks like the stop method does not clear the Registry correctly. The stop method clears out the registry entries only if the connector is started. However, in the above case, the connector is created, but not started. I have attached the thread stack trace along with this. I downloaded the candidate release code and it looks like this has not been addressed yet. Please let me know if you want me to file this as an issue (or) even better, it this has been addressed already.

Either change the locator or add new handlers to existing Connector. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3967900#...
