No. It's not supposed to be the same. udp really means ip, using the udp packet protocol while tcp, in the same sense, means ip, using the tcp reliable streaming protocol. msgMaxSize is the maximum message size that can be transmitted on a given transport. For streaming protocols this is limitless which is what 0x7fffffff indicates, while for packet based protocols the packet size sets a definite upper limit. That the streaming/packet oriented aspect has been mixed up with the transport protocol aspect is probably just an accident. /MF ------------------------------------------------------- SF.Net email is sponsored by: Tame your development challenges with Apache's Geronimo App Server.
