in the email I answered yesterday I forgot another possible solution to your usecase:
You could use an administrative get by querying the callback queue with the 'consumable' flag set:
1) Create a topic the normal way
2)Connect in failsafe mode: for exampel as client joe with the session 1 (joe/1). Then a callback queue is created for this session.
2) Disactivate its dispatch manager to ensure no async delivery is enabled by publishing an administrative message to the oid (this way even if somebody connects with the same session id and makes a subscription does not get anything delivered to him)
client/joe/1/?activateManager=true
see more about administrative messages at
http://www.xmlBlaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/admin.commands.html
3) (every client who wants to consume messages repeats this)
Do an admin get by quering the callback queue of the topic as specified in the requirement:
http://www.xmlBlaster.org/xmlBlaster/doc/requirements/queryspec.plugin.queueQuery.html
The main difference between this approach and the ConsumableQueuePlugin approach is that the first is synchronous and under the control of the client which wants to consume while the second is asynchronous and under the control of the xmlBlaster server.
Note: you could omit step 2 if you are sure nobody subscribes with that session.

Is there any information on how to configure, activate & invoke the ConsumableQueuePlugin? The requirements link is broken.
Seeing that the msgDistributor.plugin requirement is still OPEN, the documentation on it is quite sparse. I've taken a look at the ConsumableQueuePlugin.java code, but there aren't that many meaningul comments that explain exactly what's going on.
