How to move messages to another queue temporarily?

[mparaz]

I'm using JBoss 4.0.2 with MySQL based persistence. I have a requirement that if any messages aren't processed by a certain time, I need to move them to another queue and reprocess the next day.

I do this by updating JMS_MESSAGE_LOG and changing the destination. However, I need JBoss shut down when doing this. I tried stopping the PersistenceManager but then when I do, I lose the queues and some of our other components stop working.

Any suggestions? Thanks.

This is a clear misuse of the JMS message subsystem. Rethink your overall design !

Oh I forgot to say, "Legacy App."

So if I were willing to add new code, I'd consume those messages in the MDB then store them in another queue which nobody is consuming. But the queue doesn't finish in time only when there are other problems, so I prefer a n administration solution over a programmatic one.

I think you might need to write an external program to re-write some of the message data. It itself contains the destination name. I recommend you write an MDB, on maybe another JBoss server, that runs once a night and does the rewriting, then exits.
