The details of my setups and a stack trace are in this post. http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&t=151709 Digging through the code I essentially came up with the fact that on the client running within the JBoss appserver the interceptor chain is empty when creating the connection delegate, but within the working client it contains a StateCreationAspect0 object. So basically what I'm trying to determine is why the interceptor chains are different in these two situations. Thanks for your help thus far.
