Hi, I had exactly the same problem some time ago, as in first message got read and the next ones seemed to lock the queue somehow. As I was in a hurry and desperately needed it to work, I did the following: 1. checked out oracleaq source from cvs.dev.java.net:/cvs 2. In file com.sun.genericra.inbound.DeliveryHelper at the bottom there should be a line ((javax.jms.MessageListener) endPoint).onMessage(message); Just after that line I put endPoint.afterDelivery(); And messages started to be delivered as expected. 3. There was still a problem with JBoss hanging at shutdown, so in com.sun.genericra.inbound.InboundJmsResourcePool waitForAll I replaced wait(this.consumer.getSpec().getEndpointReleaseTimeout() * 1000); with wait(1500); There is still an exception thrown at the end of shutdown, but I can live with that for the time beeing. There surely has to be better ways to make this work, but as I said, I was in a hurry... View the original post : http://www.jboss.org/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4223950#...
