Abimael-

ActiveMQ does not permanently store messages on its one.  KahaDB will 
create a full-sized db-1.log (default is 32Mb) at start-up.  It stores 
messages in there, and as messages are created and consumed, it will 
create new db-*.log files as needed, and delete db-*.log files as 
messages are consumed.  For your test, try running 10,000+ of your test 
messages.  You should see a db-2.log file created and the db-1.log file 
deleted once all the messages are consumed.

See the SystemUsage configuration options for limiting the disk space 
that you want to allow AMQ to use.  A good rule of thumb is space for at 
least 3-4 days worth of data (depending on your messaging pattern).

Hope this helps!
