Hi Rob,

One more thing I noticed, is that QueueSize of the Top Level Topic
(the one created by server's createTopic() I believe) always grows
with the Enqueue Count.

     Topic Attributes
     DequeueCount = 0
     DispatchCount = 1004
     EnqueueCount = 1003
     QueueSize = 1003
        
I just loaded 5.3.1

     INFO | ActiveMQ 5.3.1 JMS Message Broker (amq-broker) is starting

and this behavior is different.  The Queue Size now remains zero

     DequeueCount = 0
     DispatchCount = 4244
     EnqueueCount = 4247
     QueueSize = 0

So I'm hopeful.  I'll let the tests run for a while....

Thanks!

Peter P

Hi Peter,

cursors are used by persistent messages too. The error about paged in
messages in the jira issue is a bit of a red herring - but I did see
similar behaviour to what you describe when before I resolved that issue

cheers,

Rob
