Just to add to the above topic, I have tried specifying protocol on the remote jboss JNDI url. That is to say in RmoteJMSProvier configuration in Properties Attribute I have tried to put java.naming.provider.url=jnp://anotherjboss:1099 But the problem and exceptions remain exactly same. Thought, this point would come up pretty soon, so tested it before hand. Cheers, View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4193007#...
