Thank you for this helpful reply. I added method start() at the begining and stop() method at the end. But that was not a good move. I received Exception: anonymous wrote : | javax.jms.IllegalStateException: This method is not applicable inside the application server. See the J2EE spec, e.g. J2EE1.4 Section 6.6 When i removed method stop() everything works fine. consumer.close(); | session.close(); | //con.stop(); | con.close(); | ictx.close(); Thanks again. I would have lost much more time if i had not been told what is wrong. Best regards. vitor_b View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4031073#...
