No, I do not use a MDB. The application opens up a single connection and session and manages a thread pool. I've got one daemon thread that polls for incoming messages and dispatches incoming messages to a worker thread obtained from that pool. That works great, but after X-time messages are no longer being consumed. If I restart the application, it processes all persisted messages on the queue.
