While testing ActiveMQ5.2.0, I have a question about expired message. Note that testing messages are Persistent and using a queue, set message expiration time to 10 seconds. configurations are same except destination policy(using a vm queue cursor) as below <destinationPolicy> <policyMap> <policyEntries> <policyEntry queue=">" memoryLimit="5mb"> <dispatchPolicy> <strictOrderDispatchPolicy /> </dispatchPolicy> <deadLetterStrategy> <individualDeadLetterStrategy queuePrefix="DLQ."/> </deadLetterStrategy> <pendingQueuePolicy> <vmQueueCursor /> </pendingQueuePolicy> </policyEntry> </policyEntries> </policyMap> </destinationPolicy> Additionally, it turns out that the activemq broker actually does not proactively purge expired messages from queues. so we set a thread that periodically cleared my queues of expired messages by help of this forum's advisor. We suppose that a server is stopped unexpectedly when expired message leaves on queue without disposed by the thread After recovering a server, we will expect that remained messages including both normal and expired message are loaded normally However server stopped abnormally and some error occured while starting ActiveMQ. Errors are like that
