When you say 'you miss an ack somewhere'...does this mean onMessage() throws an exception?
I've had this problem before, I added a try/catch (Exception e) to make sure no exception gets out of onMessage(), should I use catch(Throwable) instead? I'm not calling message.acknowledge(), the container should do - I assume. Anyways, supposing there was a throwable that made it out of onMessage() it basically means no other message will be dispatched and I have to redeploy the JMS queue in the app server?

Possibly using maxSessions=1 and maxMessagesPerSessions =100 may help. so that you get a prefetch of 100.
