This is a discussion for https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBMESSAGING-1601 Once you received a LargeMessage, as soon as you consume another message you can't move back to an already received message. This is explained at 22.6 on the user' s doc: http://labs.jboss.com/file-access/default/members/jbossmessaging/freezone... But it happens that the JMS Bridge is caching messages, and it needs to eventually go back and reprocess messages. I was looking around the code, and I can think of two options to fix it: - Ressurrect the option for FileConsumers. (This would be optional. and all could be controlled within the LargeMessageBuffer). This would be a good option for users caching messages in other scenarios. And this is my preferred option. - Make the JMSBridge aware of LargeMessages. I could have some JMS property identifying a message as LargeMessage, and the JMSBridge won't cache those messages. - Make the user to turn of caching on the bridge. (I don't like this option. I would prefer the Bridge dealing with it automatically). View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4245368#...
