We had some weird phenomenons at a customer site that we are unable to explain. I am 
actually not sure if anyone can explain that. I can already see adrian asking me what 
drugs I am taking :)

The customer is currently running acceptance tests for our product which will take 
about 2 months.
Our product is J2EE based using EJBs and JMS and for this customer is planned to be 
deployed on JBoss 3.2.2 on HP-UX with Oracle 9.2 (also used for JMS). We are using JMS 
to publish all logging information (audit trails, error logs etc.)

14 days ago the customer started to take down the Oracle 9.2 database during night for 
offline backups. They did not take down JBoss and there is also a service running 
accessing the system in a regular interval. When the database is down this is leading 
to some exceptions of course which is expected at this point of time.

3 days ago they were unable to perform any actions because the got a "unique 
constraint violation" from the JMS system.
We investigated and found about 150 JMS messages in the JMS table in Oracle. Those 
entries where messages for our ErrorMessageTopic but it seems that topic was handled 
as a a temporary topic at that time (we don't have temporary topics). We wrote a small 
program to extract the blob to get some more information.

All the messages were from the first 4 days of the 14 day time period from the 
timeframe when the database was down. 
But here is now the really disturbing bit. The message in the JMS table are messages 
reporting a database connection error (expected errors because the database was down). 
But how can it be that i have JMS messages stored in Oracle reporting that is not 
possible to connect to oracle? Is Jboss under certain circumstances caching messages 
and persisting them later?

I was not able to re-produce this behavior so far. Has anyone ever encountered 
something similar?
