Hi James!

I did some debugging and found the problem.

On deactivating an durable topic subscription (method deactivate() in
org.apache.activemq.broker.region.DurableTopicSubscription and having
"keepDurableSubsActive " set to true, the dispatched messages get iterated
from the first to the last but are always put in the pending list at the
first entry. Source:

        for (Iterator iter = dispatched.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {

            // Mark the dispatched messages as redelivered for next time.
            MessageReference node = (MessageReference) iter.next();
            Integer count = (Integer)
redeliveredMessages.get(node.getMessageId());
            if( count !=null ) {
                redeliveredMessages.put(node.getMessageId(), new
Integer(count.intValue()+1));
            } else {
                redeliveredMessages.put(node.getMessageId(), new
Integer(1));
            }
            if( keepDurableSubsActive ) {
                synchronized(pending) {
                        pending.addMessageFirst(node);
                }
            } else {
                node.decrementReferenceCount();
            }
            iter.remove();
        }

I think this can be fixed quite easy by replacing
pending.addMessageFirst(node) with pending.addMessageLast(node).

BTW: What happens when the flag keepDurableSubsActive is set to false? And
how (or where) can it be set. Documentation says it defaults to "false". It
seems to be true in our message broker configuration (but not set
explizitly).

Kind regards
Juergen
