Messages in JMS Topic Error destination

Question

Hi,
I have a JMS Topic with an error destination queue configured. Now, In our scenario , there are two subscribers of topic for the same message. Suppose for a message published to topic, subscriber1 is able to processes message successfully but subscriber2 throws errors when processing the same message.
1. Once the redelivery limit is reached and subscriber2 continues to throw exception, Will the message get en queued to Error Destination (in spite of the fact that subscriber 1 has processed the same message successfully) ?
2. For a consumer (e.g MDB) listening to Error destination and consuming error messages, Is it possible to determine which topic subscriber was unable to process the message ?
Please let me know
Regards,
Arif

Answer 1

Here it depends on the state of the message, if the message is visible then the message would be available for consumption, else it is not. In case the subscriber 2 failed to consume the message and the message is still visible then a retry would be made, else the message would not be retried.
In case the message is visible then the message would be move to the error queue based on the configured redelivery attempts.
Additionally, an MDB can find the destination using the getJMSDestination() call. But as per my understanding we will only be able to get the name of the last destination which in this case would be error queue:
