Well, I tried to test with all three - 3.0.6, 3.2RC3, and 3.2RC2. The classes that were working in 3.0.3 are now not deploying. I haven't changed them.

I am lost now. If you can point me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. I have a beta server up at several places and I am starting to get nervous.

The deployer on 3.0.6 just says:
Starting deployment of package: . . .

Similar hangs on the others - no errors thrown.

I have posted this problem already, but if you have any suggestions I would really appreciate.

I realized that the server I'm starting is opening a ServerSocket. This is apparently not to be done in the start() method, as that will cause start to block. I don't know why it worked in 3.0.3, but it did.

Now the only question is how to create the new thread - I keep trying to do so but can't register the thread (or a parent object) after its been created so that other things can write to it. I keep getting a JNDI error.

I know this is going off topic, but anything you can tell me on how to create a simple TCP socket listener would be appreciated.

Thanks
