Change Expiration

[Mark Fenbers <Ma...@noaa.gov>]

Greetings,

My client app creates a message with a 12-hour expiration and sends the 
message to the broker.  But later, from another client app, I want to 
revise the expiration of the original message.  Is this possible?

Or, if not possible, or too complicated, another option would be to 
reset/clear all messages for the appropriate topic/queue from a client 
app.  Is this possible?

You may want to refer to the FAQ on how a Queue works in comparison to a
Topic:

But wouldn't consuming them just take them out of the queue for the current
application/consumer?  Wouldn't the messages still linger on AMQ for all the
other clients?

Mark,

AMQ is just an elaborate FIFO queue of messages. If you need to change the
expiration on a bunch of messages, use a client to consume them. Once
flushed, you'll need to re-submit them with modified parameters as
appropriate. You might be able to do all this within a transaction - I have
not tried this myself.
