OK about the connection-factory, I should have thought about it in the first place. I am certainly not married to the destination attribute. It actually would make things easier to implement as well if it was split in queue and topic. I also agree on your refactoring of the message element into meaningful tags. So pretty much agreed about everything ;-) Cheers, Koen View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4269984#...
