Hi Will, We use an embedded broker Here is the url.
tcp://{0}:{1}?jms.useAsyncSend=false&jms.optimizeAcknowledge=false&jms.prefe tchPolicy.all=1000"; The problem started when optimizeAcknowledge=true was used. Also I cannt get old messages in the topics to timeout. Some do, most don¹t. Hope this helps. Rick -- Tìoraidh!
