I faced the same problem. Our db tables JBM_MSG and JBM_MSG_REF have millions records,And taked long time while rebooting. Any other solutions ? How to configure the jms message timeout(eg 1hours) TopicPublisher.publish(objMsg, DeliveryMode.PERSISTENT, PRIORITY,60*60*1000); The timeout is decided by GMT(we can not ensure all client have the same GMT). It is possible to configure timout by relative time(eg sender's time plus one hour) View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4216922#...
