Issue Type: Bug Components: Broker Affects Versions: 5.5.0, 5.3.1 Environment: Windows & Linux JDK 1.6 Reporter: Syed Faraz Ali
I've set up a durable topic with the default (persistent) delivery mode on one machine that is publishing a simple text message every 5 seconds. I created a durable subscriber that consumes messages published to the above topic on another machine. I am using broker to broker communication between the two machines. I start up the two programs on either machine and see the messages coming through to the subscriber. If I then pull the network cable to disconnect the network between the two machines, wait for a minute and then plug it back in, my subscriber doesn't receive the messages any more. I can see from the output that the publisher is still publishing them (Temporary topics, non-durable queues all continue to sync up in our production environment, it is only the durable topics that don't work after network reconnect) If I were to tweak a setting on the publisher's broker (that was introduced only in 5.5.0), suppressDuplicateTopicSubscriptions=false, then the topics work correctly after network reconnect. But this may have other unintended consequences and I was hoping to get a better idea of: - is this a known issue ? if so, then are there any specific challenges that have caused it not to be fixed? - are other people out there using durable topics and subscribers without a failover option that have run into this problem? What have they done to work around? Here is how my subscriber and publisher are set up: Topic Publisher (Machine 1) publisherConnection = connFactory.createConnection(); publisherConnection.setClientID( "ProducerCliID" ); publisherConnection.start(); session = publisherConnection.createSession( true, -1 ); Destination producerTopic = session.createTopic( TEST_TOPIC_NAME ); producer = session.createProducer( (Topic)producerTopic ); .... .... .... // On a timer, keep sending this out every 5 seconds String text = "HELLO " + count++; TextMessage msg = session.createTextMessage( text ); System.out.println( "Sending TextMessage = " + msg.getText() ); producer.send( msg ); session.commit(); Subscriber ( Machine 2): Connection clientConnection = connFactory.createConnection(); clientConnection.setClientID("cliID"); clientConnection.start(); Session session = clientConnection.createSession( false, Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE ); Destination topic = session.createTopic( topicName ); MessageConsumer subscriber = session.createDurableSubscriber( (Topic)topic, "subName" ); TestMessageListener msgListener = new TestMessageListener( 1000 ); subscriber.setMessageListener( msgListener ); ..... ..... // TestMessageListener's onMessage method simply outputs the message: public void onMessage(Message message) { if ( message instanceof TextMessage ) { System.out.println( "Message received = " + ((TextMessage)message) ); } } I can provide the jars for you to run the program if need be. I created this as a JIRA issue first, but I realize that I may have posted to the wrong forum (as it posted to the Dev forum). My apologies if this was not the right procedure for seeking out help. https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-3353 -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/AMQ-3353-Durable-subscribers-on-durable-topics-don-t-receive-messages-after-network-disconnect-tp3582806p3582806.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
