When a message is rejected by a full destination the session.close() method has a 10 seconds delay before returning. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Key: JBMESSAGING-1944 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBMESSAGING-1944 Project: JBoss Messaging Issue Type: Bug Components: Messaging Core Environment: JBoss EAP 5.x Reporter: Tom Ross Assignee: Tom Ross Fix For: 1.4.8.SP10 The session.close() method waits on the send() method to notify it that all message have been sent. This arrangement breaks when a none persistent message gets rejected by a full destination. In that case the close() method waits for 10 seconds before returning.
