Same problem happens with onAlarm in pick. | <pick> | <onAlarm for="'PT5S'"> | <empty/> | </onAlarm> | </pick> | <pick> | <onAlarm for="'PT5S'"> | <empty/> | </onAlarm> | </pick> | <invoke ? /> | It works. But | <pick> | <onAlarm for="'PT5S'"> | <empty/> | </onAlarm> | </pick> | <invoke ? /> | <pick> | <onAlarm for="'PT5S'"> | <empty/> | </onAlarm> | </pick> | It timed out after 60 seconds (while both client timeout and responseTimeout were set at 60 seconds). (In my test, the invoke itself is very fast and takes much less than 1 second) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3989487#...
