Iam not sure if this would solve the problem . Give it a try . After message is dropped into the queue , make the producer null. You will not be getting a null pointer exception, because the next time, you would create a new producer to drop the subsequent message. Set the max Inactivity duration on the broker to be -1. Are you getting any socket closed exceptions when the broker is idle for while ? As you mentioned that there is a low volume of messages sent via the broker , there is definitely a possibility for closing down of the tcp sockets used for communication between the broker and the producer/consumer after a period of inactivity. Once the sockets get closed , there will not be any further communication between the broker and the producer/consumer. The maxInactivity flag when set to -1 will prevent it from happening. On the broker url set the flag "wireFormat.maxInactivityDuration=-1"
Hope this helps. -----Original Message----- From: macdiesel [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, August 18, 2007 6:23 PM To: users@activemq.apache.org Subject: How to correctly use AMQ with Tomcat We seem to have an issue currently with our tomcat container dropping messages into activemq. Here is how it is setup: -Event happens -producer is created to drop the message in the queue -messages is created and dropped into the queue -producer is closed The problem seems however is that even after closing the session and the connection the connection will stay active and not close. There is also a 60 second timeout set in the activemq config but these sessions never time out. Eventually after about 1,000 messages AMQ runs out of file writers and becomes unresponsive. So my question is this... What is the correct procedure for doing something like this? How are you suppose to close these connections after the message is sent. Also we are working with a very low volume here so the overhead of creating the producer for each message is a non issue.
