Something has me confused here. If there is a consumer, why would messages sit around unconsumed?
Also, I have trouble understanding why one would want the broker to remove a destination while it has a consumer -- what is the consumer doing with the destination then, and what is expected to happen to the consumer? Also, if messages are sitting in a queue, the queue cannot be GC'ed - otherwise the broker is losing messages. A good solution there may be the use of message TTLs. Perhaps a review of the architecture would help to determine the best way to fit ActiveMQ and the application to the problem. BTW, it sounds like the application may have a consumer leak. Consumers can be thought of as the center of purpose for a destination. A destination that never has consumers would be a bit-bucket, or worse - a continually-growing message store. Consumers that don't expect to receive messages cannot be distinguished by ActiveMQ from those that do expect to receive messages. Hope this helps. -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/ActiveMQ-should-GC-inactive-when-producers-is-0-even-if-consumers-is-0-tp4690776p4690797.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
