Looking at the ActiveMQ 4.1.1 code it seems it does have code that transforms foreign messages into its own format, but the transformation code is called *after* ActiveMQ has set the destination on the foreign message. What it should be doing is calling setDestination() on the message *after* it has been transformed (then it will be an ActiveMQ message). (This is what JBM does) View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4053840#...
