How do I increase the value of 'InProcessMessageCount' for jms queue in jboss?

Question

I am using JMS based on Jboss 4.2.3 and jdk1.5.0_14. however the MDB pool is configured to maximum size 20, the maximum value of InProcessMessageCount is 15 only.

I did many reties to utilize the messages consumption from the queue. I modified the value of maxSize to 20 in the domain 'Message Driven Bean' in the file ejb3-interceptors-aop.xml. Also I have modified the value of <MaximumSize> to 80 in the section of <message-driven-bean> in the file standardjboss.xml but the result is 15 to 16 concurrent processing on the queue. it seems as it was a hard coded value in jboss

Answer 1

Try increasing pool restriction maxSize=15 for <domain name="Message Driven Bean"> in ejb3-interceptors-aop.xml.

Update

A thread explaining connection of max pool size and maxSession params: https://community.jboss.org/message/549083#549083

So max pool size can be increased externally in ejb3-interceptors-aop.xml for all MDBs. Then maxSession can be increased for selected MDBs to actually increase throughput.

There is also a way externalize maxSession from hardcored annotations: https://community.jboss.org/message/639955#639955
