-     One thing to remember is that with any transactional persistent store (e.g., JdbcMessageStore) 
-     the messages removed from such persistent store will only be completely removed if transaction completed 
-     successfully, otherwise transaction will roll back and the Message will not be lost.

-     And of course you can alway provide your own implementation of MessageStore interface
+     Many other implementations of the Message Store will be available as the growing number of Spring projects
