When JBoss 5.1.0 server is shutdown and restarted, new messages in a server queue (org.jboss.mq.server.jmx.Queue) are not processed by the QueueReceiver on the client.

Here is a snippet of the client side code that waits for messages:

while (true) {
 try {
 log.debug("receiving message");
 ObjectMessage message = (ObjectMessage) consumer.receive(QUEUE_WAIT_SECONDS * 1000);
 if (message != null) {
 log.debug("got a message");
 return message;
 } else {
 log.debug("No message found for " + QUEUE_WAIT_SECONDS + " seconds");
 }
 } catch (InvalidDestinationException ide) {
 log.error("Reply queue no longer exists");
 } catch (Exception e) {
 e.printStackTrace();
 log.error(e);
 throw e;
 }
}

In the same scenario, JBoss 4 threw an exception. JBoss 5 does not, instead, we see the 'No message found...' log entry.

So for JBoss5, how does the queue receiver become aware of the server shutdown/startup?

Thanks
