Hello James, Finally, I've located the problem - transport failure & locking. I switched to an Oracle database, just to avoid additional problems related with journaling & derby - so this change was causing the problem.
I have an Oracle 9.X database and I've used JDBC driver ojdbc-9.0.2. When the object was above 130K an SQL exception : "ORA-17070: Data size bigger than max size for this type" was threw out and TransportConnection.serviceTransportException was called, which disposed the transport(VM Transport). After that the consumers&producers failed because a producer failed with an SQLException(question : Why the whole connection/transport should fail???). At least I had the chance to test the failover transport :) , so I used that. There is not exception now, only the large messages failed, but the consumers are locked now in close(see another post, in the same thread) It seems to a problem with cleaning the locks, during an SQLException(or any exception). As soon as I switched to the latest JDBC driver(10.2.0.1.0, maybe is not the latest but a driver from Oracle 10g) everything worked fine - so no more SQLExceptions because of the stupid Oracle 8&9 BLOB issues.
