The destination is not clustered. As for the resource adapter, no, the remote client that this topic is about (see 1st message) is using a remote lookup for connection factory and queue. If you mean, does the JBM instance use the resource adapter, then yes it does - the one in the exploded jboss-messaging.sar configured from the JBM distribution ant script. I'm hoping I didn't confuse matters by mentioning mdbs. I only did so in contrast, because remote reconnect *is working* for the mdb container. It's just our remote clients that are hanging when the JBM instance is restarted. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4045932#...
