Thanks for the replies, guys. I tried to put async=true on all of my message-firing nodes, and actually that does not help. I can see in the log that context.close() is finished after the message arrives and the instance is loaded. Except for using a voluntary Thread.sleep(), does anyone have an idea of how I can make sure the process has finished the commit?
