Actually, I did not install any durable subscribers for the Topic and consequently there was nothing to recover. When I added a durable subscriber and retested then the recovery system did indeed recover the message published to the topic. So the JBossMQ recovery support is working provided we register the appropriate JMS recovery provider (as per JIRA issue http://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JBTM-279).
