JMS timestamps wrong with WebSphere MQ

[pmm]

When sending JMS messages the JMS timestamps we see on the client are all in January of 1970.

Our code roughly looks like this:

try (JMSContext context = this.connectionFactory.createContext()) {
  JMSProducer producer = context.createProducer();
  TextMessage message = context.createTextMessage(this.createMessageString());
  producer.send(this.queue, message);
}

We do not explicitly call Message#setJMSTimestamp. It is our understanding that we should not call this method.

We are using WildFly 9.0.1 and the IBM WebSphere MQ 8.0.0.3 RAR.

So at what point are you checking the timestamp of the message?  I don't see that bit of code in what you pasted.

That is in a (different) Java SE application. That is just

new Date(message.getJMSTimestamp());

the message is retrieved from a QueueBrowser.

We have very similar code that sends JMS messages using Java SE. For these messages the timestamp the client above displays is correct.
