Create two RHEL 7 machines with these hostnames: host2.local and host3.local Install on both machines Java 8 and AMQ-7.2.0, attached are the broker configuration folder (File "broker1-etc.zip" for host2.local) (File "broker2-etc.zip" for host3.local) On machine host3.local, install Interconnect and with all cyrus-sasl packages yum install qpid-dispatch-router qpid-dispatch-tools cyrus-sasl* Once installed interconnect, backup directory /etc/qpid-dispatch, and replace with folder qpid-dispatch in zip file "qpid-dispatch.zip" Open ports on firewall-cmd 8161 62626 for machine: host2.local 8161 62626 5276 for machine: host3.local Start Interconnect, broker1 and broker2 In host2.local broker1/bin/artemis run In host3.local broker2/bin/artemis run qdrouterd On your local machine, unzip producerConsumer.zip add host2.local and host3.local, to /etc/hosts in producerConsumer/examples there are two scripts, fpr running consumer and producer respectively: runConsumer.sh runProducer.sh To reproduce problem: Start runProducer.sh Wait producer sents some messages Check Queue in hawtio, should be here Start runConsumer.sh, in another window Wait a while When producer has just sent 10 messages, stop consumer (Ctrl+c in runConsumer.sh window) BUG: Producer keeps sending messages, but queue is gone because of autodelete, it does not appear more in Hawtio Start runConsumer.sh again, it begins to consume messages again, but only messages sent after it starts
