Unexpected behavior with max-delivery-attempts set to 0 for HornetQ in JBoss EAP 6

Solution Verified - Updated -

Issue

  • We hit a case in our application where the application code errors but the message gets delivered over and over infinitely. I believe our setting is correct in JBoss configuration to not deliver failed messages with the setting:
<max-delivery-attempts>0</max-delivery-attempts>
  • How can we configure HornetQ to not retry failed messages.

Environment

  • Red Hat JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP)
    • 6.x
