setup: JBM 1.2.0.SP1 patched with jboss-remoting 2.2.0.SP3 1. Remote, standalone client connects to non-clustered JBM instance. 2. Client creates session, consumer on non-clustered queue destination, blocks on receive(). 3. JBM instance is restarted. 4. jboss-remoting loses connection to server. No Exception is thrown. 5. client interminably remains blocked on receive. Any further information, including sample code (post #1), is detailed in this topic. There really is nothing more I think I can add, but let me know. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4046243#...
