I have a broker (with a queue, NOT topic) on one host, and consumers on various other hosts. After a consumer has taken a persistent message from the Broker queue but dies before having processed it and ACK its completion, what happens? 1) Is the message redelivered to another consumer? (Through use of the failover://) or is the message lost?
Its delivered to *a* consumer. Typicaly if the original consumer dies and reconnects, it *could* get the message when its replayed - but usually another consumer would get it (since the redelivery would probably happen before the original client can reconnect with failover)
- if redelivered, where do i configure the timeout - if redelivered, is that when the RedeliveryPolicy takes affect?
The redelivery timeout is only really used when the original consumer is redeliverying the message (e.g. due to transaction rollbacks).
2) Would I be *required* to use transactional session to have this guarantee of delivery/redelivery?
No. Redelivery works for client acknowledgements and for transactional messaging -- James ------- http://radio.weblogs.com/0112098/
