ok, so we have queues.xml file which contains entries to override queue settings. | <queue-settings match="*"> | <clustered>false</clustered> | <full-size>200000</full-size> | <page-size>2000</page-size> | <down-cache-size>2000</down-cache-size> | <dlq>DLQ</dlq> | <expiry-queue>ExpiryQueue</expiry-queue> | <redelivery-delay>0</redelivery-delay> | <max-size>-1</max-size> | <max-delivery-attempts>10</max-delivery-attempts> | <default-queue-jndi-context>/queue</default-queue-jndi-context> | <default-topic-jndi-context>/topic</default-topic-jndi-context> | </queue-settings> | so this entry matches all destinations so in essence is the default set of settings. If we do this we dont need to keep them in the jbm-configuration.xml file as we do now! View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4118329#...
