* create a {@code MessageConsumer} and a {@code MessageProducer} by calling:
*
*
* - {@code Session.CreateConsumer(Destination destination)}
*
- {@code Session.CreateProducer(Destination destination)}

*
* The actual length of time messages are held by a queue and the consequences of resource overflow are not defined by
* the Jakarta Messaging API.
