To reproduce this follow the steps below: 1. Make your queue as Last Value Queue by doing adding following attribute <last-value-queue>true</last-value-queue> </address-setting> 2. Make sure your Queue is persistent. 3. First push a value to the queue for example "XYZ". (Set the property "_HQ_LVQ_NAME" to "XYZ") 4. Make sure that value is not processed by the consumer. Either by adding a delay or pausing the queue. 5. Stop the wildfly server and restart it again. 6. Push same value to the queue for example "XYZ".( Set the property "_HQ_LVQ_NAME" to "XYZ") 7. Check the queue using JMX Console. 8. You should find two entries containing "XYZ" as the value. But by definition it should only have the last value retained. Note: This happens only when server is restarted not when server is running at that time queue works fine.
