Message expiration & delivery questions

[stephanenicoll]

I have two questions regarding JbossMQ

1/ Regarding expiration, is there a way to receive a message that expires. I mean i want to do something when a message expires (such as sending a mail 'Event expired' or something. Is it possible?

2/ I want to put a message in the queue and make sure it's delivered from a certain time. Is it possible to put the time in a JMS property and uses a filter on that? Of course the time changes.

Let's say I want message A to be processed tomorrow at 10:00 (might be 10:04 if the system is busy) and message B to be processed today at 6:00. I want to put those two message on the queue and don't worry about time issue. Is is possible?

1. You can add your own JMS properties to the message and do your own expiration. The checking would have to be done by the MDB, in the onMessage method.

It might be useful to create a JBoss vendor JMS property that delivered expired messages to a specified queue, but I haven't heard of much demand for it.

2. In JBoss 3.2.2RC1 you can schedule delivery of a message at a particular time.

Thanks. Do you know by any chance when 3.2.2 will be released?
