As I'm not familiar completely with how to modify the SMDB configuration, how exactly would you modify it to introduce a ThreadPriorityInceptor? Example config (see conf/standardjboss.xml) <container-configuration> | <container-name>Standard Message Driven Bean</container-name> | <call-logging>false</call-logging> | <invoker-proxy-binding-name>message-driven-bean</invoker-proxy-binding-name> | <container-interceptors> | <interceptor>org.jboss.ejb.plugins.ProxyFactoryFinderInterceptor</interceptor> | <interceptor>org.jboss.ejb.plugins.LogInterceptor</interceptor> | <interceptor>org.jboss.ejb.plugins.RunAsSecurityInterceptor</interceptor> | <!-- CMT --> | <interceptor transaction="Container">org.jboss.ejb.plugins.TxInterceptorCMT</interceptor> | <interceptor transaction="Container">org.jboss.ejb.plugins.CallValidationInterceptor</interceptor> | <interceptor transaction="Container">org.jboss.ejb.plugins.MessageDrivenInstanceInterceptor</interceptor> | <!-- BMT --> | <interceptor transaction="Bean">org.jboss.ejb.plugins.MessageDrivenInstanceInterceptor</interceptor> | <interceptor transaction="Bean">org.jboss.ejb.plugins.MessageDrivenTxInterceptorBMT</interceptor> | <interceptor transaction="Bean">org.jboss.ejb.plugins.CallValidationInterceptor</interceptor> | <interceptor>org.jboss.resource.connectionmanager.CachedConnectionInterceptor</interceptor> | </container-interceptors> | <instance-pool>org.jboss.ejb.plugins.MessageDrivenInstancePool</instance-pool> | <instance-cache></instance-cache> | <persistence-manager></persistence-manager> | <container-pool-conf> | <MaximumSize>100</MaximumSize> | </container-pool-conf> | </container-configuration> View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4074044#...
