In a MDB, when a message reaches the max number of retries, it is moved to the DLQ.
All message properties are OK, but the message body has diappeared.

Therefore I can not try to re-process them.

Is it normal, and is there a way to keep my message body.

The message body is a stream object.
I use JBOSS 4.0.3SP1, fiorano 7.2, java 1.4.2_10, linux or windows.
