How Are Message Stored by ActiveMQ?

We are pleased to offer you an excerpt from the book “ActiveMQ in Action,” by Bruce Snyder, Dejan Bosanac, and Rob Davies.

Messages sent to queues and topics are stored differently, because some storage optimizations can be made with Topics that do not make sense with Queues, as we will explain.

Storage for queues is straightforward. Messages are stored in a first-in, first-out (FIFO) order. One message is dispatched to a single consumer at a time. Only when that message has been consumed and acknowledged can it be deleted from the broker's message store.
