Why can't RedeliveryLimit be set to -1 (no limit) (JBoss-4.2

[adlepoo]

I am confused, in the code it is initialized to -1:

/**
 * The number of times a message will be redelivered after a recover or rollback.
 * The value <code>-1</code> means there is no configured limit.
 */
 public int redeliveryLimit =-1 ;

However, if you try to set it to -1 via jmx, it throws an exception:

public void setRedeliveryLimit(int limit)
 {
 if (limit < 0)
 throw new IllegalArgumentException("Negative redelivery limit: " + limit);

 parameters.redeliveryLimit = limit;
 }

You're in the wrong forum.

RedeliveryLimit is a JBoss MQ attribute, not a JBoss Messaging attribute.

This forum is for JBoss Messaging users.
