Steps to reproduce: 0) Uncomment line admin=admin,admin in etc/users.properties 1)before starting fuse in etc/activemq.xml substitute line: <transportConnector name= "openwire" uri= "tcp: //0.0.0.0:0?maximumConnections=1000" /> with <transportConnector name= "amqp" uri= "amqp+nio: //localhost:5672" /> 2) Using the following dependencies: <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.qpid</groupId> <artifactId>qpid-amqp-1-0-client-jms</artifactId> <version>0.26-SNAPSHOT</version> </dependency> <dependency> <groupId>org.apache.geronimo.specs</groupId> <artifactId>geronimo-jms_1.1_spec</artifactId> <version>1.0</version> </dependency> I ran the following test: @Test public void sessionTransactedTest() throws JMSException, InterruptedException { System .out.println( " sessionTransactedTest" ); c = cf.createConnection(); c.start(); // transaction Session transactedSession = c.createSession( true , 0); Destination queue = transactedSession.createQueue( "TransQueue" ); MessageProducer pr = transactedSession.createProducer(queue); for ( int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { Message m = transactedSession.createTextMessage( "TestMessage" + i); pr.send(m); } MessageConsumer cons = transactedSession.createConsumer(queue); TextMessage m = (TextMessage) cons.receive(5000); System .out.println( " consumer message recieved" ); Assert.assertNull(m); transactedSession.commit(); System .out.println( " transaction commited" ); transactedSession.close(); System .out.println( " transaction closed" ); } The test hangs on the line transactedSession.commit() in 90% of execution.
