Hi,

I am using jboss-3.2.2 under HP UNIX. I am getting this error org.jboss.mq.SpyJMSException: Could not open the queue's transaction log during startup when there are some pending messages in the queue.

org.jboss.mq.SpyJMSException: Could not open the queue's tranaction log: D:\Tammy\Messages\QUEUE.RequestQueue.dat894; - nested throwable: (java.io.IOException: Error in log file format.)

18:39:12,815 WARN [ServiceController] Problem starting service jboss.mq:service=PersistenceManager


When I Moved QUEUE.RequestQueue.dat894 and corresponding transactions.dat894 files from the directory where jboss stores the messages and started the server it started successfully without any error. After that I stopped server and again copied back the QUEUE.RequestQueue.dat894 & transactions.dat894 files and restarted, it worked fine this time.

What could be the reason for this strange behavior? Has someone experience the same problem?

Best Regards,
Monu
