-------------------------------------

             Summary: Error during transfer when sender doesn't include initial-delivery-count in attach
                 Key: AMQ-6881
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-6881
             Project: ActiveMQ
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: AMQP
            Reporter: Kale Blankenship
            Priority: Minor


I'm not sure whether this will be considered a bug, but I figured I'd at least let you know.

I ran across this issue while testing my Go AMQP implementation against ActiveMQ. When attempting to send messages to ActiveMQ the connection would be terminated an error like `AmqpProtocolException: Could not decode AMQP frame: hex: ...`. I eventually tracked this down to my client not including initial-delivery-count in the attach. The spec is clear that the field "MUST NOT be null if role is sender," so it was an oversight on my part.

I was surprised that the failure occurred when the first transfer frame was sent rather than the malformed attach. Though my Java knowledge is very limited, the stack trace I was able to get (by removing some of the handling) implies that the delivery-count in ActiveMQ/Proton was not initialized during the attach and then caused a NullPointerException when the delivery-count was incremented while processing the transfer.
