In my application i have to create multiple topic subscribers( 600 approx) and i am using a configurable number of Topic connections to create these subscribers (say, 1 topic connection to create 5 subscribers). But, whenever there are messages flowing through the JMS Topic the number of  handles used by JBOSS keeps on increasing and never comes down. And after some time when the handle reaches beyond 90k, JBOSS Crashes. I am planning to test my application on latest JBOSS. But before that i would like to know, is this a known issue in JBOSS 4.2.3, or i am doing anything wrong.
