Reason why a message was put to a DLQ in JBoss - jboss

Assume I have a Queue with a DLQ, no redelivery. (Runtime) Exceptions during the processing of a message (in an MDB) cause the message to be sent to the DLQ, so I can decide how to deal with it. So far so good.
But I think in many situations it would be nice to know WHY the message was not processed properly, in other words what was the exception in the MDB?
I think from the technical point of view it should be fairly easy to attach the exception (or at least its stack trace as a string) to the message sent to the DLQ e.g. in a JMS property.
So far I was not able to find out if/how it is possible in JBoss (any version), or in any other JMS implementations/app servers.
Anyone knowing if this, or something similar is possible? Or why it is not possible?

How to read value of max-delivery-attempts from Java in a MessageListener

I have configured the redelivery settings in Wildfly 10 configuration some thing like below.
<address-setting name = "jms.queue.MyQueue"
redelivery-delay="2000" max-redelivery-delay="10000" max-delivery-attempts="5"
max-size-bytes="10485760" address-full-policy="FAIL"/>
I haven't configured the DLQ which I want to do myself.
When a message fails , I would like to move it to certain queue with the error in it. Unfortunately if I configure the DLQ, I only get the original message but not the reason why it failed.
For that I would like to read the JMSXDeliveryCount and decide if this is the last attempt. If so then Move it to some other queue myself with additional information.
is it possible to read the original setting as done in standalone-full.xml from my Queue while consuming the message?
The max-delivery-attempts setting is not defined in the JMS specification so in order to retrieve it from the server you'll need to use the Wildfly management API. There are a couple of ways to do this - native or HTTP. To be clear, this will make your application difficult to port to other potential JMS providers and/or Java application servers.
To avoid having to use the Wildfly management API you might consider setting a special property on the message from the producer to indicate how many times it should be delivered. Then you could just read this property in your consumer application and compare it to JMXSDeliveryCount. If you don't want to change the producer application you could probably accomplish the same thing using an Artemis outgoing interceptor to set the property on the message as it's being delivered to the consumer.

Apache Camel XA rollback and store on failure queue

I am starting to think this is impossible now so hopefully somebody can give me some guidance.
In Short, I have a Springboot application running apache camel routes, XA is configured using Atomikos and as far as I can tell all the XA specific configuration is as it should be. When a route executes I can see a message removed from the jms queue, a database insert is executed using a #Transacted JPA component and the message is routed to an output jms queue. All fine and I can see log information that supports the transaction manager committing both jms and JPA bits.
The issue comes when I have an exception, I need to be able to attempt re delivery 3 times and if that fails route the message on to a failure queue but not before the database insert is be rolled back.
I have a configured TransactionErrorHandlerBuilder which is setting the redelivery count to 3 and also managing the RedeliveryDelay, I can see all of that working but I never manage to divert the message after 3 delivery attempts to the route that I have setup to deliver to the failure queue. I have set the DeadLetterUri to point to the route but it seems that the transactionErrorHandler never makes use of it, camel just tries to redeliver the message 3 times over and over again until I kill the route.
Is what I am asking not supported? I am really hoping I am missing something obvious.

RabbitMQ - Is there a way to go back to old messages in a queue

Lets say my consumer acked and due to some strange reason did not handle the message well.
Is there a technic to go over message again?
Requirements :
1. same order.
2. continue receiving new messages and placing them last in the queue?
therefor, not re-queieng them (messing order), something like moving the index back (as in kafka )?
Thanks.
1 - Same order is something that is not compatible with async AMQP model.
In general RabbitMQ feed messages in order they was added, but if redelivery occurred that message will be delivered ASAP. Also, if one message was not acked among other it will be scheduled to client ASAP too.
2 - Dead lettering may help you.
Sure, you can manually add message back to exchange it was originally published to, but it is not what may be called best practice (ok, it works and pretty well in some cases). But you have to protect your application from cycled messages that fails and then delivered again (headres solve this problem for me, at least).

How does a queue sender know that a consumer crashed?

I'm using node-amqp. For each queue, there is one sender and one consumer. On the sender side, I need to maintain a list of active consumers. The question is when a consumer computer crashed, how would I get a notification and delete it from the list at the sender side?
I think you may not be using the MQ concept correctly. The whole point is to disconnect the consumers from the producers. On the whole it is not the job of the producers to know anything about the consumers, except the type of message they will be consuming. To the point that the producer will keep producing if a consumer crashes and the messages will continue to build up in the queue it was reading from.
There is a way to do it by using RabbitMQ's HTTP API (at http://server-name:55672/api/) to get list of connections, but it is too brutal for frequently queries. Another way in theory is to use alternate exchanges to detect undelivered messages, but I didn't tried this way yet.
Also, it may be possible to detect unexpected consumer disconnection by using dead-letter-exchanges as described there: http://www.rabbitmq.com/dlx.html

NServiceBus and "Dead Letter" queues?

So, I am new to MSMQ and NServiceBus. I played around with demos and got a working scenario going with NServiceBus. (Getting my own up and running was even easier than following the demo thanks to the new Modeling tools!)
I then went and presented my plan (based off my work with the demo and my own model) to my co-workers. Two of them were versed in using MSMQ and started asking me questions about how I will handle "Dead Letters".
I had never heard of "Dead Letters". They explained that it is queue used for messages that things cannot be sent (either because the other end refuses them or if the other end is not there).
The concern of my co-workers is that if we don't have Dead Letter queues then how will we stop a message from blocking the queue? (If the queue is FIFO and the top message can't be sent, then it blocks the other messages behind it right?)
On the other hand, if we have "Dead Letter" queues how are they managed? (Do I get an event from NServiceBus that tells me a new message is in the Dead Letter queue? How do I configure when a message will go to the Dead Letter queue? How can I try to re-send a Dead Letter message?)
So basically, how does NServiceBus deal with undeliverable messages?
Typically, you specify an error queue as well, which is where messages that couldn't be sent will go. Look at their MSMQ example:
http://docs.particular.net/nservicebus/msmq/transportconfig &
http://docs.particular.net/nservicebus/msmq/connection-strings
<MsmqTransportConfig InputQueue="MyClient" ErrorQueue="error"
NumberOfWorkerThreads="1" MaxRetries="5"/>
In this scenario, the error queue will reside on the same machine as the input queue. This may also be a remote queue, if preferred. MaxRetries refers to the number of attempts to send before it gets put into the error queue. How you choose to handle the error queue is up to you, however.
