If a client needs to receive all the messages published on a topic, including the ones published while the subscriber is inactive, it uses a durable IMessageConsumer. The JMS provider retains a record of this durable subscription and insures that all messages from the topic's publishers are retained until they are acknowledged by this durable subscriber or they have expired.
Sessions with durable subscribers must always provide the same client identifier. In addition, each client must specify a name which uniquely identifies (within client identifier) each durable subscription it creates. Only one session at a time can have a IMessageConsumer for a particular durable subscription. An inactive durable subscriber is one that exists but does not currently have a message consumer associated with it.
A client can change an existing durable subscription by creating a durable IMessageConsumer with the same name and a new topic and/or message selector. Changing a durable subscriber is equivalent to unsubscribing (deleting) the old one and creating a new one.
