delaying resend of message

[dvdemecillo]

hi,

let's us say we have an mdb w/c has encountered an exception that we deemed retryable. we catch the exception, we setRollbackOnly. so jboss will resend the message to our mdb which is what we wanted. but jboss resends the message immediately and sends the message to dlq if still fails a certain number of times (default is 10). sending to dlq is good and retry count is configurable. now i was just wondering if there's a way to delay the resend?. i've read the docs on the message driven bean container and hv not seen something like this. is this something that the container should handle? or should i start coding my mdb to handle this delay somehow? i was hoping the container could do it for me. is this possible?

i hope someone could enlighten me.
thanks.

The container rolls back the transaction
because you requested it.
This nacks the message. If this is the only
message it will be immediatley redelivered
by the JMS server.

The container could handle it, but there is
no spec compliant mechanism to tell the
container that the rollback is due to a severe
problem and it should wait or the rollback
is due to a transient problem like a deadlock
detection which can be retried immediately.

The spec doesn't even allow you sleep()
in the MDB.
