I have a question. On the server side, there is an org.jboss.remoting.Lease which, if it doesn't receive pings from the client in a timely fashion, will declare that a connection is broken and inform any registered listeners. Now JBossMessaging registers a listener, so it should be informed about the broken connection, and it should attempt to shut it down. Now, Remoting won't try to kill a Socket in the middle of a read() or write(), but I'm a little surprised that JBossMessaging doesn't clean things up enough to prevent all the other clients from receiving messages. Are you seeing the output from | log.trace("Notified connection listener of lease expired due to lost connection from client (client session id = " + clientHolder.getSessionId()); | on your server logs?
