Question

I want to delay message delivery by certain time which will be different for each message.

I referred weblogic 10.3 WLMessage documentation which recommends using javax.jms.Message.getIntProperty("JMS_BEA_DeliveryTime").

However I’m unable to figure out how do I set JMS_BEA_DeliveryTime as INTEGER. I was expecting it to be long.

I’m unable to find out any documentation about this attribute JMS_BEA_DeliveryTime to undesratand how to set and use it. Can anybody give example about how to set the desired delivery time or link to documenation of use of this attribute.

My code looks like typical use of Spring JMS template:

 jmsTemplate.send(destination, new MessageCreator() {
                public Message createMessage(Session session) throws JMSException {
                  TextMessage message = session.createTextMessage(textMessage);
                  return message;
                }
            });

I was wondering if it is possible to set header for delivery time before returning message.

Good article with examples of delaying delivery for different JMS providers, include WL.
