exact builds using: JBM: Specification-Version: 1.4.0.SP3 Implementation-Version: 1.4.0.SP3 (build:CVSTag=JBossMessaging_1_4_0_ SP3_CP01 date=200712141423) JBR: Specification-Version: 2.2.2.SP4 Implementation-Version: 4.3.0.GA (build: VNTag=JBPAPP_4_3_0_GA date=200801031548) I can see my consumer count is 1, thus a consumer is definately active. The queue also has an expiry queue configures, so it is queries that my messages aren't getting expired after the 60 seconds I configure them to be. The messages are all non-persistent.
