Yes, that's exactly the case I'm talking about. But I didn't interpret James as requiring running consumers when he said "preloading a queue with millions of messages with a small heap of 64Mb and then consuming them all".
Only if someone consumers the messages will ActiveMQ start accepting further messages when max memory is reached. -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Paging-support-tf2163517.html#a6056128 Sent from the ActiveMQ - User forum at Nabble.com.
