Does this happen without the JMX modifications? That does sound odd. One question comes to mind - does the queue actually exist in the broker at the time of the message dispatch? Check the consumers - make sure they are active at the time the message is dispatched, and that the broker sees the consumer and the queue.
The reason the browser can change this operation is that clicking on the link to browse the queue will create it. That's one "oddity" of virtual topics - that the messages are put in the queues based on the presence of the queue at the time of message dispatch to the Topic. If that is the cause, it is possible to force creation of the consumer queues at broker startup through the activemq.xml file. -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/Consumer-queues-of-virtual-topic-and-the-web-console-tp4689995p4690004.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
