Actually I tried putting that as well. But I am getting the same exception. I do have a similar other setup that does not give this problem. I am trying to find what is the difference between the two setups. The one that is giving the problem is from the jboss install archive without any changes to it. Will keep posted if i do find something. But if anybody has a similar issue would appreciate if they can give me some hints. Thanks.

I don't know if this is related since I have not used this for an MDB accessing a remote queue. | | Gary View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4072108#...
