Thanks for reply!

Not sure what you mean by create a new message. Rollback/retries are handled
by transactions. Creating a new message from the client can't be right...? 
Can you please explain further?

My messages are ObjectMessages. My second attempt was to set a exception
string on the payload object. But changing any values on the payload object
doesn't have any effect either, the payload is back with the original values
on retries and DLQ, and the payload is read-only so I can't set a new one. 

Trying something like this doesn't work, received on DLQ listener
payload.getLastError() returns the original string "No error".


class MyPayload {
   String lastError = "No error";
} 

public void onMessage(Message msg) {
   ObjectMessage objMessage = (ObjectMessage) message;
    MyPayload payLoad =  objMessage.getObject();
   try {
      doBusiness();
   } catch (Exception ex) {
        payLoad.setLastError(ex.toString);
        // Will be rolled back by trans and retried, eventually to DLQ
   }
}
