I am at my wit's end and would appreciate some help with this problem. Here's what's happening.

I am running JBoss AS 5.1.0.GA and have created an mdb with an onMessage() method that looks like this:

public void onMessage(Message m) {

     processMessage(m);

     LOG.info("finished processing " + m");

}

The processMessage method eventually gets the RMIAdaptor from jndi and makes a call to it.

When the code runs, it prints the LOG.info message in the log file suggesting it has finished processing, but after that fails with the following stack trace:

16:56:47,994 ERROR [JmsServerSession] Unexpected error delivering message delegator->JBossMessage[21256369076322305]:PERSISTENT, deliveryId=0

I have tried setting the unauthenticatedIdentity property in the <application-context name="other"> element, as well as

including the <run-as> element in the ejb-jar.xml descriptor for this bean. No matter what I do I get the same error.

Does anyone what is it that causes this stack trace to happen AFTER the method uses the RMIAdaptor and exits? Am I missing some RMI configuration I am not aware of?

Thanks for your help in advance,
