How to configure a persistent topic?

[ccricklin]

Hi,
I've configured a JMS topic in JBoss 3.2.2 and used a simple client to publish some PERSISTENT messages to it. I also wrote a MDB to consume those messages. So far, everything was working fine.

To test if the published messages could be "persistently" stored in a datasource (I've configured a MySQL database for this purpose), I took out the MDB and tried again. However, I didn't see any published messages had been inserted into jms_transactions table.

I am not sure where went wrong. Do I have the wrong idea about this "persistent topic" concept?

Please help,
Thanks,
Rick

If messages are consumed they are gone.

They are only persisten as long as not all listeners have recieved the messages.

Thank you,
But, I did take out the MDB, which is my only listener, and tried. I still didn't see the published messages been stored into the database.

Thanks,

You have to add a ???-service.xml in the $jboss/server/default/deploy/jms

And the file is something like

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>


<!-- Destination without a configured SecurityManager or without a
a SecurityConf will default to role guest with read=true, write=true,
create=false.
-->

<depends optional-attribute-name="DestinationManager">jboss.mq:service=DestinationManager
<depends optional-attribute-name="SecurityManager">jboss.mq:service=SecurityManager

Yes, I do have jbossmq-destinations-service.xml in $JBOSS/server/default/deploy/jms. And, the file has:

...

...

<depends optional-attribute-name="DestinationManager">jboss.mq:service=DestinationManager
<depends optional-attribute-name="SecurityManager">jboss.mq:service=SecurityManager
