Re: Cleaning up queues...

[Robert Davies <ra...@gmail.com>]

1. set a timeToLive on your messages http://activemq.apache.org/how-do-i-set-the-message-expiration.html - this means that if the producer crashes, the messages will get cleaned up at some point
2. Enable gc on destinations - http://activemq.apache.org/delete-inactive-destinations.html - which will kick in once messages have been consumed or expired.
