I dont know if this is a JBM or Remoting issue, but here it goes...

The client is AS 4.2.3.GA with JBM 1.4.5.GA and remoting 2.2.3.SP1

The server is a clustered AS 5.1.0.GA with JBM 1.4.3.GA and remoting 2.5.2.SP1

In the client (4.2.3) there is a JMS provider which jndi properties is set to the server. And a connection manager using this provider so a could have XA transactions. (Works just fine)

When the server is restarted, remoting logs the following:

Thats ok, but when the server is up again and the client sends a message, remoting (in debug) logs the following and freezes the thread! So I have to restart the client!

After a few tries, my pool AvailableConnectionCount is 0 and the "No ManagedConnections available" is throw.

Appreciate any help!

P.S. I am using ServiceBindingManager in the client and already updated the bisocket config in sample-bindings.xml.
