Chapter 4. Known Issues

  • ENTMQBR-17 - AMQ222117: Unable to start cluster connection

    A broker cluster may fail to initialize properly in environments that support IPv6. The failure is due to a SocketException that is indicated by the log message Can’t assign requested address. To work around this issue, set the java.net.preferIPv4Stack system property to true.

  • ENTMQBR-463 - Attributes in clustering settings have order restrictions. Would be nice to either have better error message or simply ignore the order

    Currently the sequence of the elements in the cluster connection configuration has to be in a specific order. The workaround is to adhere to the order in the configuration schema.

  • ENTMQBR-520 - Receiving from address named the same as a queue bound to another address should not be allowed

    A queue with the same name as an address must only be assigned to address. Creating a queue with the same name as an existing address, but bound to an address with a different name, is an invalid configuration. Doing so can result in incorrect messages being routed to the queue.

  • ENTMQBR-522 - Broker running on windows write problems with remove temp files when shutting down

    On Windows, the broker does not successfully clean up temporary files when it shuts down. This issue causes the shutdown process to be slow. In addition, temporary files not deleted by the broker accumulate over time.

  • ENTMQBR-569 - Conversion of IDs from OpenWire to AMQP results in sending IDs as binary

    When communicating cross-protocol from an A-MQ 6 OpenWire client to an AMQP client, additional information is encoded in the application message properties. This is benign information used internally by the broker and can be ignored.

  • ENTMQBR-599 - Define truststore and keystore by Artemis cli

    Creating a broker instance by using the --ssl-key, --ssl-key-password, --ssl-trust, and --ssl-trust-password parameters does not work. To work around this issue, set the corresponding properties manually in bootstrap.xml after creating the broker.

  • ENTMQBR-617 - Cert based authentication does not work with AMQP and OpenWire clients

    Authentication based on SSL certificates is not supported for AMQP and OpenWire clients.

  • ENTMQBR-636 - Journal breaks, causing JavaNullPointerException, under perf load (mpt)

    To prevent IO-related issues from occurring when the broker is managing heavy loads, verify that the JVM is allocated with enough memory and heap space. See the section titled "Tuning the VM" in the Performance Tuning chapter of the ActiveMQ Artemis documentation.

  • ENTMQBR-648 - JMS Openwire client is unable to send messages to queue with defined purgeOnNoConsumer or queue filter

    Using an A-MQ 6 JMS client to send messages to an address that has a queue with purgeOnNoConsumer set to true fails if the queue has no consumers. It is recommended that you do not set the purgeOnNoConsumer option when using A-MQ 6 JMS clients.

  • ENTMQBR-652 - List of known amq-jon-plugin bugs

    This version of amq-jon-plugin has known issues with the MBeans for broker and queue.

    Issues with the broker MBean:

    • Closing a connection throws java.net.SocketTimeoutException exception
    • listSessions() throws java.lang.ClassCastException
    • Adding address settings throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException
    • getConnectorServices() operation cannot be found
    • listConsumersAsJSON() operation cannot be found
    • getDivertNames() operation cannot be found
    • Listing network topology throws IllegalArgumentException
    • Remove address settings has wrong parameter name

    Issues with the queue MBean:

    • expireMessage() throws argument type mismatch exception
    • listDeliveringMessages() throws IllegalArgumentException
    • listMessages() throws java.lang.Exception
    • moveMessages() throws IllegalArgumentException with error message argument type mismatch
    • removeMessage() throws IllegalArgumentException with error message argument type mismatch
    • removeMessages() throws exception with error Can’t find operation removeMessage with 2 arguments
    • retryMessage() throws argument type mismatch IllegalArgumentException

  • ENTMQBR-655 - [AMQP] Unable to send message when populate-validated-user is enabled

    The configuration option populate-validated-user is not supported for messages produced using the AMQP protocol.

  • ENTMQBR-738 - Unable to build AMQ 7 examples offline with provided offline repo

    You cannot build the examples included with AMQ Broker in an offline environment. This issue is caused by missing dependencies in the provided offline Maven repository.

  • ENTMQBR-897 - Openwire client/protocol issues with special characters in destination name

    Currently AMQ OpenWire JMS clients cannot access queues and addresses that include the following characters in their name: comma (','), hash ('#'), greater than ('>'), and whitespace.

  • ENTMQBR-944 - [A-MQ7, Hawtio, RBAC] User gets no feedback if operation access was denied by RBAC

    The console can indicate that an operation attempted by an unauthorized user was successful when it was not.

  • ENTMQBR-945 - Non-persistent messages lost in non-failure scenarios when authorization fails, because delivery mode defaults to asynchronous

    Clients may not notice the loss of non-persistent messages. Message loss is often associated with an obvious failure, such as the broker stopping or the storage provider disconnecting. However, the asynchronous behavior of the default delivery mode can lead to the loss of non-persistent messages in other situations too, such as failing authorization or trying to use a queue that is not configured.

  • ENTMQBR-1045 - Client connection failed message in broker log with OpenWire client

    Currently, when an OpenWire client (ActiveMQ) disconnects cleanly, the broker shows a warning message similar to the following:

    Client connection failed, clearing up resources for session ID:localhost-45795-1527065581471-5:1:1

    This warning can be safely ignored.

  • ENTMQBR-1498 - Diagram in management console for HA (replication, sharedstore) does not reflect real topology

    If you configure a broker cluster with some extra, passive slaves, the cluster diagram in the web console does not show these passive slaves.

  • ENTMQBR-1815 - Hawtio view changes on automated refresh

    When automatic refresh is enabled, the Hawtio console updates the screen every 5 seconds. This behavior also switches the view to the Attributes screen, causing you to lose focus from any other screen you are viewing. To work around this issue, select Preferences in the top-right corner of the console. In the Update rate drop-down list, select No refreshes.

  • ENTMQBR-1816 - Queue#MessageCount negative and messages stop flowing to AMQP consumer

    An AMQP client can send a disposition for a delivered message indicating that the client received the message but didn’t consume it. This behavior can cause the message count on the broker to become negative.

  • ENTMQBR-1848 - "javax.jms.JMSException: Incorrect Routing Type for queue, expecting: ANYCAST" occurs when qpid-jms client consumes a message from a multicast queue as javax.jms.Queue object with FQQN

    Currently, sending a message by using the Qpid JMS client to a multicast queue by using FQQN (fully qualified queue name) to an address that has multiple queues configured generates an error message on the client, and the message cannot be sent. To work around this issue, modify the broker configuration to resolve the error and unblock the client.

  • ENTMQBR-1875 - [AMQ 7, ha, replicated store] backup broker appear not to go "live" or shutdown after - ActiveMQIllegalStateException errorType=ILLEGAL_STATE message=AMQ119026: Backup Server was not yet in sync with live

    Removing the paging disk of a master broker while a backup broker is trying to sync with the master broker causes the master to fail. In addition, the backup broker cannot become live because it continues trying to sync with the master.

  • ENTMQBR-1942 - [AMQ 7.2, shared store, scale down] NullPointer exception when slave activates and tries to scale down

    If you configure a slave broker to use a shared store and scaledown in a cluster, you see an exception if the master broker becomes shut down.

  • ENTMQBR-2068 - some messages received but not delivered during HA fail-over, fail-back scenario

    Currently, if a broker fails over to its slave while an OpenWire client is sending messages, messages being delivered to the broker when failover occurs could be lost. To work around this issue, ensure that the broker persists the messages before acknowledging them.

  • ENTMQBR-2085 - [AMQ7, JMSXGroupSeq] Support JMSXGroupSeq -1 to close/reset Groups

    The broker does not remove message groups as expected when a client sets JMSXGroupSeq to -1, per ActiveMQ 5. As a result, you cannot change a message group once you pin it to a consumer and broker.
