Timing out inactive connections on persistent queues

[lsclark]

Scenario: I have a consumer of a persistent queue that is prefetching messages.  I'd like to implement a timeout on the broker side to timeout the connection and release all prefetched messages back for redelivery if the consumer hasn't ack'd back any message in some configurable period of time.

I'm currently running on ActiveMQ 5.1, but will be releasing 5.3 soon and would like to target a solution for ActiveMQ 5.3

There is a an InactivityMonitor attached to the transport - the  
default is 30 seconds - see http://activemq.apache.org/configuring-wire-formats.html
This is to monitor for dormant clients, zombie sockets etc - which  
might provide you with what you want ?
