Sorry Tuly, my mistake! I'm a bit new with AMQ :( now with the nonBlockingRedelivery property is redelivery of messages doesn't affect the normal delivery.
Unfortunatelly, now I've got another related issue: the exponential backoff does not work well I'm using AMQ 5.7 and here's my config: <property name="backOffMultiplier" value="3" /> <property name="useExponentialBackOff" value="true" /> <property name="initialRedeliveryDelay" value="1000" /> <property name="maximumRedeliveries" value="5" /> <property name="queue" value="queue.demo" /> first redelivery: 39:41 second redelivery: 39:42 third redelivery: 39:45 fourth redelivery: 39:48 fifth redelivery: 39:51 sixth redelivery: 39:54 any idea? -- View this message in context: http://activemq.2283324.n4.nabble.com/Competing-consumers-redelivery-policy-tp4675760p4675841.html Sent from the ActiveMQ - User mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
