[xmlblaster] Callback message queue fills up



We are experiencing something strange in xmlBlaster 1.6.1. We have two nodes, node A subscribes to messages from node B. These are heartbeat messages and are generated every 15 seconds with a lifetime of 30 seconds. A client connects to node A and subscribes to the messages, node A then passes the subscription onto node B. Watching the callback message queue, everything seems to run well, at most 1 message in the queue waiting to be sent. It can run like this for days. Then, unexpectedly, the callback queue will show as being full (in this case 1001 messages). The queue contains many duplicated messages with different timestamps. From there, the server struggles to deliver the messages and keep the queue empty. The reader never seems to read enough messages to get the queue back down to zero. If I stop the client and reconnect, it will recreate its queue and be back to normal. I know this is a bit sketchy, but it is becoming a real problem for us.

Any thoughts on what might be the problem? Any idea of where to start looking?

One more note, when the client is subscribing to heartbeats that are generated on Node A, the client never fails in this manor, only when it is subscribing to node A for a message generated on node B.

Thanks, in advance,
David Robison
