Hi Guys, Still a bit confused by all this, sorry new to JBoss, had a look at that thread you pointed me at tim and it seems to be related to an older version, the standard-boss.xml file doesnt exist in my config. Forgetting about DLQ for a minute, setting the redeliverydelay, by using MDB's is that affecting its usage. You stated in the thread you pointed me at about switching off something so JBM will take precedence will i need to do that to get the RedeliveryDelay working. Sorry if i am annoying the hell out of you, just trying to get my head round this as we are one of the first in our area to use the new JBM :os Regards, Stephen View the original post : http://www.jboss.com/index.html?module=bb&op=viewtopic&p=4047521#...
