The first thing I would check is whether the messages are produced later, or the messaging system does delay the messages after the sent operation. Therefor you can check the JMSTimestamp field in the Message header. Maybe you can just log the JMSTimestamp file of the Request and the Response message then you can focus your analysing on the part of the system where the delay seems to occur.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
