Hi Suchitha,

yes - for durable subscribers, persistent messages are always placed in the message store of the broker. There are a few different implementations we use for message storage, but generally there is a background thread that tries and removes messages that have expired - though this will be done in a more consistent way for the next ActiveMQ release -http:// issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-1112

Hi active mq users ,
                   I have a question in regard to persistent delivery
for durable subscriptions.
Consider the scenario , where in , The subscriber is durable.
For the topic publisher  , If I set the delivery mode to persistent ,
are the messages saved to disk all the time. Are these messages not
purged at all ?
Also along with persistent mode of delivery , if I set time to live as 5
minutes , are the messages still on the disk even after 5 minutes.

Please let me know,

thanks,
Suchitha.
