17.6.8. Set Message Expiry
Introduction
Using HornetQ Core API, the expiration time can be set directly on the message. For example:
// message will expire in 5000ms from now message.setExpiration(System.currentTimeMillis() + 5000);
JMS
MessageProducer
JMS MessageProducer
includes a TimeToLive
parameter which controls message expiry for the messages it sends:
// messages sent by this producer will be retained for 5s (5000ms) before expiration producer.setTimeToLive(5000);
Expired messages which are consumed from an expiry address have the following properties:
- _HQ_ORIG_ADDRESS
A string property containing the original address of the expired message.
- _HQ_ACTUAL_EXPIRY
A long property containing the actual expiration time of the expired message.
