Redelivery Policy

Messages are redelivered to a client when:

  1. A transacted session is used and rollback() is called.
  2. A transacted session is closed before commit is called.
  3. A session is using CLIENT_ACKNOWLEDGE and Session.recover() is called.

You can configure the RedeliveryPolicy on your ActiveMQConnectionFactory or ActiveMQConnection to customize exactly how you want the redelivery to work.

You can use Java code, Spring or the Connection Configuration URI to customise this.
