Re: message expiration

[spiiff <ma...@siemens.com>]

So we checked this ourselves, of course the messages are dropped out of the
activemq persistence if they are received by the consumer(s). It is
configurable in which time frame consumed messages will be dropped. And
after checkpointing the journal to the database consumed messages are also
dropped. 
But in this case:

        if (longTermPersistence instanceof JDBCPersistenceAdapter) {
            // Disabled periodic clean up as it deadlocks with the
checkpoint
            // operations.
            ((JDBCPersistenceAdapter)
longTermPersistence).setCleanupPeriod(0);
        }
        ( from class JournalPersistenceAdapter)

the periodic clean up is disabled and the database is cleaned only during
checkpoint operation (I guess...)
