I am getting the same issue. I'm not an expert on the JBoss Microkernel thingie, however, I think these exceptions are basically harmless. You can replace the ugly exceptions with less ugly warnings by pasting the following into your jboss-jms-beans.xml file right after the opening tag: | <bean name="jboss.system:service=ServiceController" class="org.jboss.system.ServiceController"> | </bean> | | Now you'll see the following: | WARN 31-07 15:42:23,702 (ServiceController.java:stop:480) -Ignoring request to stop nonexistent service: jboss.mq:service=StateManager | WARN 31-07 15:42:23,702 (ServiceController.java:destroy:540) -Ignoring request to destroy nonexistent service: jboss.mq:service=StateManager | WARN 31-07 15:42:23,717 (ServiceController.java:stop:480) -Ignoring request to stop nonexistent service: jboss.mq:service=PersistenceManager | WARN 31-07 15:42:23,717 (ServiceController.java:destroy:540) -Ignoring request to destroy nonexistent service: jboss.mq:service=PersistenceManager | View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3961998#...
