Hi, I've tried to register a dummy MessageConsumer as suggested by hendra_netm, but that doesn't seem to work. If I specify a matching selector, I'm receiving the messages that are meant to be expired. And if I specify a selector like "1 = 0", that doesn't seem to cause expiry to be checked. What seems to work is to unregister and re-register the dummy consumer in regular intervals, but I wonder if there's a more elegant approach - any advice?
