high message count yields outofmem

Thu, 29 Jan 2009 19:33:49 -0800 

hello,

 We have activemq 5.1.0 on linux running with a 1GB heap.   When a
large flurry of messages come in (say 500) activemq runs out of memory
with the following error:

2009-01-23 10:42:43,776 [erContainer-157] ERROR
efaultMessageListenerContainer - Setup of JMS message listener invoker

        at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)

 Is there a way to limit memory usage and spool files to disk to
prevent this error?  Or is there another recommeded way of limiting
memory usage when a surge of messages come in ?

Thanks
Adam
