[rabbitmq-discuss] Stomp: after deleting a durable subscription, message is still available

Tue Sep 6 19:28:35 BST 2011

In a test case, the Stomp client is able to receive messages from a 
topic after sending the "delete durable subscription" command as shown 
in http://www.rabbitmq.com/stomp.html

Is this a misunderstanding? I have used a unit test based on the similar 
feature in ActiveMQ which tries to read a message from a topic after the 
durable subscription has been removed. If a message can be read, the 
test fails. With RabbitMQ, this is the case, a message is still in the 
topic.

Many thanks in advance
