Is there any api to remove a message from a queue when browsing the queue? I've tried to set JMSExpiration to 1 as follows, but it doesn't seem to work.
Enumeration<Message> en=queueBrowser.getEnumeration();
while(en.hasMoreElements()){
Message message=en.nextElement();
if(message.getJMSMessageID().equals(id)){
message.setJMSExpiration(1);
return;
}
}
Anyone knows how to remove a message from a queue?
You cannot remove the message via a QueueBrowser and any messages returned from the browser are read-only. I'm surprised you calling setJMSExpiration() didn't throw a MessageNotWriteableException or similar. What JMS provider is it?
Using either the same session or a different session, create a MessageConsumer with a selector JMSMessageID = 'XXXX' where XXXX is the message ID of the message you want to delete. Next call receive() with a timeout (as maybe someone else has removed the message) to try to destructively read the message.
Depending on whether the session is client-ack or transacted you'll need to acknowledge() the message or commit() on the session.
