JBossMQ creates an expired message for every subscription.

How I did it was to basically create a new message, which is mostly a copy of the original message, with additional headers indicating the original message ID, queue or topic name, and time of expiry. Then, JBossMQ would remove the old message and store the new message as a single DB operation.

You don't really need to worry about ID conflicts therefore.
