Hey James,=20

Thanks for the response, it make sense.=20

Sorry about the empty thread, subject line was dropped in the first one
so I thought I should add it and sent it again for better readability.=20

I have noticed another thing though.=20

If I have few messages in a queue (lets say 10) and bring consumer-1 up.
If I don't call receive still consumer-1 locks all the 10 messages (and
shows in the Dequeue count in JMX console). And now if I bring another
consumer-2 and calls receive consumer-2 doesn't get any message.=20

Even if I haven't received any message in consumer-1 and all the
messages are still new.=20

Please advice.=20

Thanks!


Vik

I just responded to the other empty thread - thought I'd resend my
reply...

No - consumer 2 will not receive the message until consumer 1
terminates (or is disconnected from the broker).

At some point we could add some kinda inactivity timeout in consumers
so that if they grab messages and don't process them we silently
disconnect the consumer (so they give their prefetches back).
