The failure I was getting was that the listener was expecting 10 messages but was getting only 5 or 3 instead. What it looks like is that notify is just a bit faster than notifyAll, and the way this test was running, the difference added up over time. With notifyAll on my machine, the test tended to take about 85 seconds on those times it passed, but took only 75-78 seconds with notify, apparently enough to make it pass more reliably. Are there other threads in a pool somewhere? If so, that could easily explain the difference.
I don't understand why it would matter that notify() is faster than notifyAll() in this case? i.e. semantically this test should pass with both? Also given that it is just sending 10 messages in-VM, it should be extremely quick. In any event, the timeout was 5 seconds and as the loop was originally crafted it waited *before* checking the count. Did the messages actually get delivered? i.e was the count just wrong for some reason?
Another thing is that with both notifyAll and notify, I also sometimes get an IllegalStateException from AMQPFastProtocolHandler at shutdown, line 198. I haven't looked into this yet.
That is usually a symptom of another problem since it just means that an undecoded byte buffer has made it through to the protocol handler. RG
