Sure, that's understandable. I have almost no knowledge myself of STOMP
- our STOMP adapter was written by TonyG and is largely unloved. If
STOMP does give publisher acks, then it's possible that the adapter is
not using AMQP transactions, and thus the publisher ack does not
indicate any sort of reliability concerns. That said, I was also under
the impression that STOMP quite deliberately has no semantics
whatsoever - if this is the case then it would seem to be completely
legitimate to issue the publisher ACK without using a transaction.
