Hi, Thank you for your reply. I have found a solution for decouple my App with the SLSB, but i want a way to kill that SLSB that is consuming 100% of CPU. Is there a way to signal the JBoss to kill that instance that is not functioning well ? Because i am dependent of external SLSB which are on my JBoss, i need a way to kill those that are not responding for a large period of time. My tests used the TransactionManager to reduce the transaction timeout, but that did not result. The timeout has passed and the resources were not freed. Now i am trying to found a way of having the SLSB reference a put it a NULL in order to kill it, but that is not working as well..... I am becoming without solutions to solve this problem....
