Hi Manik, unfortunately I don't have an unit test. But I will try to write it. I had a look to the testGravitationKillOwner() method. In it after the kill (stopService), the get method is explicitly called and then the data is gravitated to another node. May be I'm wrong, but the behavior that I expect to have should happen just after the kill owner without invoking any methods. And it should happen even if the gravitation is completely disabled. thanks and regards gianluca -- Gianluca Puggelli skype:pugg1138 View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4002920#...
