Queue name from poison message - MQ / JMS

Question

Hi all,

I'm developing a solution to retrieve poison messages from a backout queue in Websphere 6.1.

My question is: when this msg (ie. TextMessage) is re-queue from a regular queue to backout queue, what is the queue name in msg.getJMSDestination() and msg.getJMSReplyTo()?

For example: I've got a msg with destination to myQueue. However, for some reason, this msg could not be processed (poison message) and, because websphere is configured for that, this msg is re-queued to backout queue named myBOQueue. If I retrieve this msg from myBOQueue (using MDB), and I execute ((Queue) msg.getJMSDestination()).getQueueName(), what do i go: myQueue or myBOQueue? And if I execute ((Queue) msg.getJMSReplyTo()).getQueueName(), what do I got?

Thx, Andre

You want to look in vendor-specific docs. I think retry counts and poison message queues are a vendor-specific feature not included in the JMS spec.
