FYI http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=3944620 The recovery manager will look for the object store in wherever you've set it in your jbossjts-properties.xml (which is searched for in the cwd and your classpath). If you don't change the default setting in there (or the system can't find the property file), then it'll default to cwd and be called PutObjectStoreDirHere. Can you confirm that this is the case? -- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Thomas Diesler Web Service Lead JBoss, a division of Red Hat xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
