[jboss-user] [JBoss Messaging] - Failure on Control Connection : Messages going into ether

[martin.wickus]

Environment in this case using: 
JBoss Messaging 1.4.0.GA 
JBoss Remoting 2.2.2.SP1 

Seeing the following warning: 

Code: 
2008-02-18 13:53:43,993 WARN  [org.jboss.remoting.transport.bisocket.BisocketServerInvoker] org.jbos

secondary locator

This continues for a while then eventually I get exception saying could not connect. I guess at that point I've exhausted the connections in the client pool. 

However, before I get the could not connect exception, there is a long period where I can still send JMS messages, yet they never end up on my queue. No JMSException reported either.

My installation was running fine for the last month under this codebase and only recently started showing this problem. I guess the real problem is that something has changed in our network and as a result control connections are experiencing problems. I will investigate that issue our side, but it exposed what looks like a bug in JBoss Messaging / JBoss Remoting. 

I've modified my bisocket configuration from config listing 1 to config listing 2 and it seems to be behaving better. I could try updating to a later version of the JBM/JBR libraries... but only want to do so if I can find the Jira marking the issue as closed.

Another user reported the issue is also present in JBM 1.4.0CR2.
