Dan Checkoway commented on AMQ-499:
-----------------------------------

I'd like to add my name to the list of folks who would greatly appreciate this 
feature.  The requirement on my end is to support queueing a message that will 
get handled at some fixed point in time in the future.

As it stands now, I have to hack around this by having multiple queues, each 
dedicated to delaying a certain amount of time.  i.e. a 1-minute, 5-minute, 
30-minute, and 60-minute queue.  Separate threads periodically poll these 
queues, at a frequency respective with the intended delay.  If a message needs 
to be delayed 4:23 in the future, first it goes into the 60-minute queue, and 
bounces there 4 times...then into the 5-minute queue 4x, then the 1-minute 
queue 3x.  etc.  Ugly!!

Anyway, if you could implement the "TimeToDeliver" type feature in ActiveMQ it 
would be much appreciated!
