[jboss-as7-dev] Why is JMS message persistence disabled by default?

The JMS message requirements http://download.oracle.com/javaee/6/tutorial/doc/bncfu.html state that: "The most reliable way to produce a message is to send a PERSISTENT message within a transaction. *JMS messages are PERSISTENT by default*". However, currently while testing 7.0.0.Beta3 I noticed that this isn't the case. Sending out 3 messages to a queue and restarting the server loses the messages. Before restarting I did use the JConsole to make sure that the message count shows up correctly and it did. On restart I see the count reset to 0. Looking at the messaging subsystem, I notice that we have set: <!-- disable messaging persistence --> <persistence-enabled>false</persistence-enabled> This shouldn't be the case, since it breaks JMS spec out of the box. By the way, I tried setting it to persistence-enabled=true and testing this whole flow again. But I still see the message count reset to 0 on a server restart. I'll see if I can figure out why the persistence-enabled flag change isn't taking effect. -Jaikiran
