Still no success on this one...
I was able to create the following small testcase.
First, make sure DLQ are enabled in the activemq.xml configuration file:
<policyEntry queue=">" memoryLimit="5mb">
<deadLetterStrategy>
<individualDeadLetterStrategy queuePrefix="DLQ."
useQueueForQueueMessages="true"/>
</deadLetterStrategy>
</policyEntry>
(I use individual DLQ's only for simplicity, same results with a shared
DLQ)
When I run the test with CREATE_CONSUMER = false, a message is placed on
the queue MY.QUEUE and it stays there forever.
When I run the test with CREATE_CONSUMER = true, the expired message is
moved to the DLQ.MY.QUEUE the moment the consumer is created (not when
the message actually expires)
Also when you browse the queue MY.QUEUE when it contains an expired
message (e.g. via http://localhost:8161/admin/queues.jsp), the expired
message is moved to the DLQ the moment the queue is browsed. I already
tried to create a plugin for activemq which iterates each second over
all messages in all queues to force the expiration of messages. No
success on this one either. It works when there are no consumers at all
listening on the queue, the moment, another consumer is listening to the
queue, the expired messages will stay on the queue.
Is there anyone who has suggestions what to try next?
