Dave,
Looks like it is a RunTimeException occuring in
the MDB. When this happens the MDB is removed from the
container. At the same time the message is redelivered
by the JMS server to the MDB since the onMessage() has
not returned succesfully. A new MDB is created and the
whole cycle repeats again. This is totally correct
behaviour as per the JMS specification. It is up to
you to fix the RunTimeException.
Hope it helps.
Thanx,
Sanjeev
