I have been trying to solve this problem now for awhile and I can't seem to figure it out.

I am hoping that some of the JBoss experts can help me out.

I have an process that writes messages to and MDB message queue.

I have another program that uses queueBrowser to check how many messages are in the queue.

When I start my JBOSS 7.1.1 final server I add 2000 messages.  If I have an MDB consumer defined on the

Server I can run the transaction that uses the queueBrowser and it WILL have the exact number of message in the enumeration set

that were added.

But as soon as I start my server with the MDB consumer defined for my MDB message queue the

queueBrowser getEnumeration is always empty.  I have added over 1000 messages so there is no way that all

of them could have been consumed.  When I check the JBoss console it also displays the correct number of

messages in the MDB message queue.

So what am I missing?  I need to find a way to know how many messages are in MDB queue from a program

also running on the server?

Any help on this issue is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
