Set Redelivery on a Per Message Basis

Sergiu Pienar Aug 18, 2011 5:53 AM

Hi,

I was wondering if one can set up a maxDeliveryAttempts on a per message basis(i.e. have an attribute that specifies how many times a message should be reprocessed if the original processing has failed).

In my app there are times when I only want a message to be proceesed once and if that initial processing fails the message should be directly discarded. However there are numerous other situations in which I want the messages to be reprocessed for a number of attempts(max-delivery-attempts) which is set in hornetq-configuration.xml for which this value is set to 5.

Can I somehow add a max-delivery-attempts of 1 to each message I want to be processed only once ?

Thank you.

You should be able to commit the JMS session (instead of rollback) in your code when processing such message. If you use MessageListener, simply do not throw any RuntimeException from your onMessage() for such messages.
