I've been working with JMS and ActiveMQ. Everything is working wonders. I am not using spring, nor can I.
The interface javax.jms.MessageListener
has only one method, onMessage
. From within a implementation, there is a chance an exception will be thrown. If in fact an exception gets thrown, then I say the message wasn't properly processed and needs to be re-tried. So, I need ActiveMQ to wait for a little while and then, retry. i.e. I need the thrown exception to rollback the JMS transaction.
How can I accomplish such a behaviour?
Maybe there is some configuration in ActiveMQ I wasn't able to find.
Or... maybe could do away with registering MessageListener
s to consumers and consume the messages myself, in a a loop like:
while (true) {
// ... some administrative stuff like ...
session = connection.createSesstion(true, SESSION_TRANSACTED)
try {
Message m = receiver.receive(queue, 1000L);
theMessageListener.onMessage(m);
session.commit();
} catch (Exception e) {
session.rollback();
Thread.sleep(someTimeDefinedSomewhereElse);
}
// ... some more administrative stuff
}
in a couple of threads, instead of registering the listener.
Or... I could somehow decorate/AOP/byte-manipulate the MessageListener
s to do this themselves.
What route would you take and why?
note: I don't have full control over the MessageListener
s code.
