When an orb is recreated the JacOrbRCServiceInit class uses a cached poa rather than a new poa linked to the new orb reference ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Key: JBTM-1941 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBTM-1941 Project: JBoss Transaction Manager Issue Type: Bug Security Level: Public(Everyone can see) Components: JTS Reporter: Tom Jenkinson Assignee: Tom Jenkinson Fix For: 4.17.11, 5.0.0.M5 See the upstream BZ for more details. Effectively you can't start/stop/start the JacOrbRCServiceInit within WildFly. There are a couple of tweaks needed to achieve this. I will link a pull request but I will add some comments and delete this comment when I have the pull request finalized.
