Hi Bonny,
that looks like a bug indeed, should be easy to replicate in a Junit
tests case I think. Could you raise a jira issue for this and if you
have some tests code that demonstrates, please include it.

for more info see: http://activemq.apache.org/contributing.html

Thanks,
Gary.

> * Session configured as CLIENT_ACKNOLEDGE
