JMS and expiration notification

[vincent2003]

Hi,

I would like to have a notification or callback when a message expires from a topic or queue in order to do e.g. logging.

Is that possible with JMS and JBoss? Or is there another solution to know if a message is expired?

Thanks,

Vincent

There is no callback.

Perhaps you can supply a patch that add this behaviour?

You can set your own message property (e.g. "INTERNAL_EXPIRY_TIME") and in your queue receiver do your own expiration checking.

Adding the code to JBoss wouldn't be too hard, just a little messy. There are mainly two places which check for and handle expiration. One in BasicQueue.dropMessage, the other routine is in MessageConsumer (which I think we no longer need.)

Call the setting "expiration policy":

I might do this myself. :-)
