Environment

• JBoss AMQ 7.0.2
• JBoss AMQ 7.0.3

Issue

• Sending a (small) compressed Openwire ByteMessages with JMS properties set to a Queue causes the following exception on the consumer side when it tries to decompress the message:

Resolution

It seems when both "the message has a property set" AND "use compression" are used the issue occurs. If only one of those is used it seems to work.
Turning off compression has avoided this issue for other customers.

Content from issues.jboss.org is not included.ENTMQBR-943 has been raised to address the issue. The is currently scheduled to be fixed in AMQ 7.1.1 GA
