With J-boss 7.1.1 it seems that server-to-server EJB remoting always responds with "java.lang.IllegalStateException: No EJB receiver available for handling" when the remote server is connecting and lacks matched resource, and also when the remote server is not connecting. Is there a way to distinguish such circumstances?
The failure to connect type of exceptions are logged at WARN level, if that's what you want to look at.
