You could stop the consumer via JMX. Reconnection only applies to a JMS Connection; so you should be able to stop a consumer via JMX without it auto-reconnecting. Though maybe we should support some kinda mechanism to stop dispatching - though due to prefetch buffers, you'd still have to wait for all the buffers to be emptied. -- James ------- http://macstrac.blogspot.com/ Open Source SOA http://open.iona.com
