Hi Raul, As far as I know, the Message Group is closed when the property JMSXGroupSeq is set to -1.
Please raise a Jira to get that fixed… I wrote something regarding that some time ago that should help as well… http://marcelojabali.blogspot.com/2011/11/load-balanced-ordered-message.html Hope this helps, -- Marcelo Jabali Sr. Solutions Consultant FuseSource Web: fusesource.com Skype/Twitter: mjabali Blog: http://marcelojabali.blogspot.com On Dec 12, 2011, at 11:09 AM, Raul Kripalani wrote: Hi there, There seems to be a contradiction in the AMQ documentation regarding the closure of a Message Group. This page [1] first indicates that a group is to be closed by setting the JMSXGroupID header to zero ("How message groups work" section), to later on specify that it's a negative value rather than zero ("Closing a message group" section). Which is correct? Thanks, Raúl. [1] http://activemq.apache.org/message-groups.html.
