If your producer sends messages to a topic and not to a queue, then the broker discards these messages if there is no subscriber connected. You will need to use durable topic subscriptions if you want the broker to store these messages. Things are different with queue messages. They are kept by the broker by default when there are no consumers connected. Best Regards, Torsten Mielke tors...@fusesource.com tmie...@blogspot.com
