I think this may be related to these bugs: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-1203 and https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-1192 .
What Hiram Chirino describes is a dead ringer for my situation... ------ copy of Hiram's comments from AMQ-1192 ------------ I think this is due to the socket being killed but the server side not noticing. But it will notice once it tries to send it a message, so the it shutdown the dead socket and redelivers all messages queued for the client. On some OSes the TCP timeout interval can be tweaked. Otherwise, keep alive packets would need to be periodically transmitted in Stomp so that the server could detect a dead client sooner. Keep alives have not been added to Stomp yet.. but could be in a future version. ----------------------------------------------------------------- I posted my situation there. AMQ-1203 is prioritized as "minor". Can this be raised? -- View this message in context: http://www.nabble.com/Setting-stomp-wire-format-parameters-tp17661413p17844435.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
