JMS message Status

Question

Hello All,
Is there anywhere we can get hold of a message status which indicates if the message in context has been delivered successfully or failed ?
Sorry if this is an obvious question but I m a newbie to this technology
Thanks

Hello,
I think that JMS api doesn't provide any function to get the status of a message that has been delivered.
Nevertheless, if there's an error while sending the message you'll get a JMSException which indicates that your message has not been sent.
Maybe there're JMS implementations that provide functions to get message status, but I'm not aware of any.
If you still want to check that the message has been sent to the queue you can check your JMS implementation administration tool to see if the queue contains the message, or if you want to do it programatically you could use a QueueBrowser to look for your message (for example you could set a message property like this:
long lMillis=System.currentTimeMillis()
Message.setLongProperty("MSG_ID",lMillis) and then use the QueueBrowser to look for a Message with a MSG_ID equals to your lMillis).
Remember that if any process is consuming the messages you are sending to the Queue, then probably your message will have been consumed before you try to look for it.
Hope this helps,
