Subject: prefetch=0 does not work with Stomp client?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset="ISO-8859-1"; format=flowed

I am using a Stomp client with ActiveMQ 5.3.0. I have some slow 
consumers and find that they wind up locking up messages in the dispatch 
queue even when are other consumers available to consume the messages. I 
believe prefetch is the cause of this problem.

What I would like to do is set prefetch=0 so that messages only get 
dispatched when we actually ask for them by reading on the socket 
connection. However, setting prefetch=0 results in no messages being 
dispatched at all.

Is prefetch=0 suppose to work with STOMP? Are there any additional 
server side settings required to make it work?

Thanks
