OK Thank You.  I'll see what that means in terms of work, etc.   Thanks for the reply.    One other thing, is there a migration document or something that I can use to make the upgrade from 2.1.1.Final to the latest version?

Clebert -- I was wondering if you could comment further on this subject ....

I finally got HornetQ 2.3 working with Java 1.7 (sorta) .. but not with the configuration I was using with HornetQ 2.1.1 and Java 1.6.   I got HornetQ2.3 and Java 1.7 running under my environment with the configuration from the canned HornetQ examples directory.       My old configuration however is apparently wrong in some manner.   As a total newbie to Hornet Q (it is a legacy component that I'm now supporting) I was hoping I could get help with regard to upgrading the configuration I currently have so it will run under 2.3.   Or maybe there is a set of documentation that I can use for such an upgrade?     

Basically, I'm getting the same error (or a similar one) with 2.3 and 1.7. that I mentioned on the first post of this thread.

At the risk of giving too much info, here are my config files and the error I'm receiving is below that .... 

(if you need more info, plz let me know)
