Yes, when a procuder calls send() method, I'd like to intercept the request, verify number of messages in destination queue, throw an exception if number of msg, after this last send(), exceed a predefined limit.
In AMQ 5.3 I can define a memoryLimit for a queue but there are two "problems". 1) memoryLimit is expressed in Kb/Mb and not in number of messages. 2) I specified a memoryLimit for a queue (1 Mb) I ran 10 tests where a producer send thousand of messages to the queue. I verified that number of messages sent to the queue, before a memoryLimit exception is thrown by AMQ, differ a lot from one test to another (test1=15885 msg, test2=29362, test3=32413 then 15861, 24260, 12276, 11692, 24306, 24762, 20269). I expected a deterministic result. For this reason I tried to follow the "interceptor way".
