Chapter 19. Message Redelivery and Undelivered Messages

Message delivery can be unsuccessful, for example, if the session used to consume a message is rolled back. An undelivered message returns to the queue ready to be redelivered. However, this means multiple unsuccessful deliveries are possible, so messages can remain in the queue, clogging the system.

There are two options for these undelivered messages:

These options can be combined for maximum flexibility.

<!-- delay redelivery of messages for 5s -->
<address-setting match="jms.queue.exampleQueue">
   <redelivery-delay>5000</redelivery-delay>
</address-setting>
