Hi Charles,
Yes, when a delegate is declared to be remote it is not deployed colocated
within an aggregate, and the aggregate controller will send requests to the
specified queue. From what you say, the remote service 'B' is getting
process requests for each CAS.
Perhaps one of the other colocated delegates is printing the message to
stdout? At any rate, please turn up the UIMA logging level to FINEST for the
runRemoteAsyncAE process. This will trace the activities for all CASes in
the aggregate. This log is more difficult to follow when multiple CASes are
being processed by the aggregate at the same time; to simplify the trace,
limit the casPool size for the aggregate to 1.
