Scheduled Messages not being cleared properly on a removeAll

[mtpettyp]

JBoss 4.2.3 and JBM 1.4.0.SP3

If I have a number of messages scheduled in the future and then call removeAllMessages() from the JMX Console on that queue, the messages are correctly removed. Both MessageCount and ScheduledMessageCount are set to zero. The messages are not sent at their scheduled time (as expected)

However, upon restarting the Application Server the scheduled messages that were deleted are requeued and processed. Looking through the code it appears that when removeAllMessages() is called only the in-memory scheduled messages are cleared. Upon startup those same messages are pulled out of the database and queued.

Is this the expected behaviour? I'm assuming that on a removeAllMessages the scheduled messages should be removed from the database.

Is this the expected behaviour?

FIrstly there is nothing in the jms specification regarding scheduling messages so this will always be vendor specific. Relying on vendor specific functionality makes your application less portable between jms products.

Anyway, in JBM 1.4 the scheduled delivery time is the time that the message is delivered to a queue not a consumer. This means that when you remove all messages the scheduled message does not yet exist in the queue so can't be deleted.

Feel free to add a JIRA if you would like some extra management functionality added.

actually, on review i think you're correct. This may be a bug.

Any chance you could provide a standalone test to demonstrate it and someone will take a look.

If you open a JIRA you can attach the test to it.

Done and done.
