Need help figuring out how to configure ActiveMQ.xml

[bnortman]

Just started using ActiveMQ 5.3

I have 1 producer and 1 consumer on a queue. Right now I have problems where my consumer is busy and can't keep up. After a while ActiveMQ will run out of memory and crash and then my product doesn't work to well. I've tried different methods of using destinationPolicies and can't find any good idea on how to configure it to do what I want.

What I want it to do is only use so much memory lets say 128 MB and store the rest to disk.  I need strictOrder.  If the disk uses more than lets say 1 GB then I want it to not accept any more info from the producers, but keep send to consumers. Once it gets below the limit of it can start sending again.

Are these persistent or non-persistent messages you are sending ?

These are persistent messages.

It should work the way you want to out of the box - can you send the  
configuration you are currently using - and we can take it from there.
Btw - are you using transactions, client-acknowledgement ? - anything  
else about your environment that might be relevant ?

thanks,

Rob
