Using memory limits or store usage limits with an expiry time are your options for queues at the moment. I think this requirement has been mentioned before, especially for non persistent messages. An internal consumer triggered off the queue size counter could do the necessary. What sort of options would you require w.r.t dealing with discarded messages? What happens in MQ when the maxdepth is reached?
Could you raise an enhancement request for this feature? 2009/10/22 Mitch Granger <mitch.gran...@sophos.com> > To be clearer, I'm looking for something like Websphere MQ's maxdepth > property for queues. > > > themitchy wrote: > >> I'm looking for a way to keep queue sizes down to a specific number.
