Queue eviction policy

[jgunz <sl...@twcny.rr.com>]

I dug through the website and the mailing list and am still a bit confused...

Is there a way to set a maximum size (either by message count or memory
size) on a specific Queue?

Is there a way to specify an eviction policy, in the way you can for slow
consumers, for a specific Queue?

What I am trying to do is define a Queue with a known size so that if my
consumers go down, old messages are dropped (FIFO) and any producers can
just carry on.

One last question, if I set a time to live value for a message on a queue,
will it eventually be removed before being sent if that time expires?

Thanks for the help.

Thank you for the help. I have created a JIRA issue (
https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQ-1648 AMQ-1648 ) for this
feature. Please vote on it if you're interested.
