[rabbitmq-discuss] Messages Sent Via STOMP Not Surviving Server Restart

[Alexander Goldstone]

For anyone looking at this mailing-list thread retrospectively... I had missed the fact that recent versions of the STOMP plugin now expect "persistent:true" instead of "delivery-mode:2".

My problem is solved by replacing this:

		SEND
		destination:/queue/testq
		delivery-mode:2
		receipt:1

With this:

		SEND
		destination:/queue/testq
		persistent:true 
		receipt:1

Regards,

Alex
