There is no set messaging rates, and ActiveMQ doesn't lose messages in the normal case, so something else must be wrong.
It's not entirely clear, but it sounds like your clients are disconnecting from the broker and reconnecting frequently. Is that true? If so, that's an anti-pattern that will lead to problems. JMS is designed for long-lived connections, unlike REST and SOAP. Short lived connections lead to significant extra load on the broker, which is greatly compounded in a network of brokers. In the initial problem description, it also sounded like clients lose the connection to the broker and fail to send messages when that happens. Are clients using the failover transport? The failover transport will eliminate problems created by lost connections to the broker. One caveat - make sure to have logging enabled because clients won't really know when they are connected or not, which can lead to confusion. The logging makes it clear when the client is connected or disconnected. -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/ActiveMQ-not-able-to-handle-message-load-tp4703928p4704064.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
