I'm using MDB's so I won't have direct access to the connection. I simply want the MDB to stop firing onMessage until I tell the queue to start delivering again (without stopping clients from sending messages to the queue). I have the following code for JMSContainerInvokerMBean (it's in the package (org.jboss.ejb.plugins.jms): | MBeanServer mbeanServer = MBeanServerLocator.locateJBoss(); | JMSContainerInvokerMBean invoker; | try | { | invoker = (JMSContainerInvokerMBean) MBeanProxy.get( | JMSContainerInvokerMBean.class, objectName, mbeanServer); | if (method == STOP) | { | invoker.stopDelivery(); | } | else if (method == START) | { | invoker.startDelivery(); | } | } | catch( Exception e) | { | e.printStackTrace(); | } | Would the JMX forum be a better place to ask this question? Unfortunately the documentation is not very informative concerning the method calls above. View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4227140#...
