This wouldn't work in all cases since there may be messages in transit or waiting to be delivered. typically if you create a consumer and call receive Immediate straight away the first message hasn't arrived yet. Also a fast consumer may consume messages quicker than they are delivered internally. anonymous wrote : Well, I hope you agree it's simpler and avoids code duplication too ;) I do agree, i just wish either 1. I'd thought of it, or b. you'd suggested it earlier. View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4182850#...
