I think you're referring to the prefetch limits: http://activemq.apache.org/what-is-the-prefetch-limit-for.html
Many messages (by default) will be sent to a consumer before an acknowledgement is received by the broker. Consumer can pull messages (if you really want that) by setting prefetch to 0. Ref. "ActiveMQ in Action" chapter 13.3.1: "If the prefetch is zero, the consumer will pull messages from the broker and no push will be involved." Regards, Mick Hayes. ----- Michael Hayes B.Sc.
