activemq & Glassfish : InactivityIOException: Channel was inactive for too long

Question

My systems has the following parts:

• Activemq 5.8.0
• 4 ear deployed on Glassfish 3.0
• A .net client that connects to a web service deployed on Glassfish

(none of these seems is using activemq)

Systems works perfectly for months, until it fails with a InactivityIOException (ActiveMQ)

2015-03-11 08:23:17,369 WARN | Transport Connection to: tcp://127.0.0.1:33130 > failed: org.apache.activemq.transport.InactivityIOException: Channel was inactive for too (>30000) long: tcp://127.0.0.1:33130 | org.apache.activemq.broker.TransportConnection.Transport | ActiveMQ InactivityMonitor Worker

after a while Glassfish crash

i read ActiveMQ:'channel inactive for too long' exceptions stop broker messaging but i don't want to stop InactivityMonitor, and setting a higher value for timeout don't solve my problem (just postpone it), question is : why i'm getting this inactivityException and why GF hang out?

Answer 1

I think that the inactivityMonitor should be disabled. If you need it up and running on production, then you should configure this behaviour with a property in your config files.
