Thanks for your reply! That was what I was thinking about. But then there's that requirement to access all previous messages before the first connection... all I'm coming up with is creating a bunch of durable subscriptions beforehand, then allowing all new clients to either create new connections OR using one of the subscriptions created in the first batch. I could potentially put the durable subscription names on a regular JMS Queue, so clients can consume one message from there and then use it. Any other suggestions?
