[rabbitmq-discuss] A different Processing error in logs

Wed Dec 7 12:27:28 GMT 2011

Dear Toby,

Thank you for that description. I will attempt to reproduce this locally.  At
first glance it appears that the reception of messages after UNSUBSCRIBE is
counter-intuitive, and the interference with the second queue sounds suspicious.

Could we see some of your code, please, or could you break this down into a
series of STOMP frames, so we can see what the parameters are?  A trace of the
STOMP frames would be best of all.

Some questions:

Are the subscriber and sender the same process?
Can you say exactly what type of queue you create/subscribe to?
In 2) is it necessary to SEND more than 2 messages?
In 3) how do you manage the connection when you stop reading it to unsubscribe?
Do you need to unsubscribe before ack to get the problem in 6?
In 6) is the SEND from the same process again?

If possible, a failing code sample would be helpful.

One of the trials I would perform is to try sending on queue 2 after every
interaction with queue 1.  Of course, that may make it necessary to field
messages from the second subscription at the same time.

I'll keep you informed about my progress.
