             Summary: Enable JMS-Native Queue MessageCounter
                 Key: ARTEMIS-4128
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ARTEMIS-4128
             Project: ActiveMQ Artemis
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: JMS
    Affects Versions: 2.26.0
            Reporter: Jose Plascencia


Artemis Version: 2.26.0

Artemis JMS Client Jar Versions: 2.19.1

When using Spring's JMSTemplate to run a generic “browse” call using any ConnectionFactory compliant object to get the number of messages on a queue, the response does not actually provide all messages on the queue.

Specific Use Case:

On a loop, gather the number of messages on a queue to enable some action to occur once the queue is identified as being empty. This implementation occurs by using Spring's JMSTemplate and loading in a valid ConnectionFactory object and then calling "jms.browse(queueName)”, overriding the “doInJms” function and enumerating over the QueueBrowser object to get the size of the Enumartion list.

 

When using other JMS-based Broker solutions such as IBM MQ v8.x, v9.X, and ActiveMQ 5.X (Classic) (and its associated JMS client JARs), the size of the queue is correctly identified by using "browse" on a loop and correctly identifies when it becomes empty and no longer has messages.

However, when using Artemis (and its set of JMS client JARs), the “browse” functionality returns inaccurate counts and will often claim the queue is empty even though it can be physically seen that there are still messages on the queue.

I believe this behavior occurs because the “browse” interface is not accounting for messages in other states such as pending, scheduled, or in-delivery (in buffer). I have discovered that QueueControl object’s “getMessageCount()” correctly accounts for those other states and provides an accurate count.

Between IBM MQ and ActiveMQ Classic, the “browse” interface responds as you’d expect, but Artemis is not – Artemis should provide the correct underlying implementation for the “browse” interface and respond with a more accurate message count as most users would expect to be able to retrieve. There is otherwise no JMS native method to retrieve this method and users are forced to resort to ActiveMQ-specific implementation and classes
