Hi James, Yes, when all the TimerTasks have shut down, the Timer shuts down as well. I was bitten by this same problem a while back in the bisocket transport, and I didn't notice it existed elsewhere as well. I've created JIRA issue JBREM-851 "In LeasePinger and TimerUtil replace Timer if it has shut down" (http://jira.jboss.com/jira/browse/JBREM-851) and scheduled it for Remoting 2.4.0. Thanks for bringing this problem to my attention. -Ron View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4103930#...
