I created my own *-service.xml and moved the configuration out of the destinations and into that and the problem remains.
samdoyle,
This thread started about a year back and everyone started adding "i too get the same error". Its pretty difficult to understand what the real issue is. Could you please open a new thread in this forum with all the details or provide more details about what you are doing? Which version of Java do you use? And post the console logs. All these details (preferably in a new thread) will help in understanding what's going wrong.
