How do I get the expected behavior? Can it be done? Is it a bug? *Short problem description:* After restarting JBoss, pending messages on a durable topic will be put on DLQ. This is NOT what I expect. I want them to stay on the topic even after a restart. *Background to my problem:* I have a topic and two durable subscribers (two MDB's). One of the subscribers will try to deliver messages to a web service, which _can_ be offline. In that case, the MDB will throw an exception and the message will be redelivered later. The problem is that when the web service is offline and I restart JBoss, all pending messages on the topic will be put on DLQ. By default, the MDB will run 16 sessions in parallell, and these will stay "durable" even after a restart. *An example:* Before restart - I publish 56 messages to the topic - The web service is offline - Subscriber 1 (the "web service" one) now has 56 pending messages - Subscriber 2: 56 successfully processed messages, 0 pending messages - DLQ: 0 pending messages Result after the restart: - Subscriber 1 (the "web service" one) now has 16 pending messages - Subscriber 2: 0 pending messages - DLQ: 40 pending messages *My setup:* - JBoss 4.2.3 - JBoss Messaging 1.4.4 (have also tried with 1.4.2 with the same result) - Using a MSSQL database for persistance -------------------------------------------------------------- Reply to this message by going to Community [http://community.jboss.org/message/536317#536317] Start a new discussion in JBoss Messaging at Community [http://community.jboss.org/choose-container!input.jspa?contentType=1&...]
