Does the instantiation of the consumer servlet create the consumer?
Once a consumer is created messages are dispatched asynchronously to
it; so if you create a consumer then immediately call receiveNoWait()
then its typically gonna return null.

Maybe its the debugger adds enough time between the createConsumer()
call and the receiveNoWait()
