I am using WebSphere for both the web server and app server. The web server connects to ActiveMQ Artemis using JMS, while the app server connects to ActiveMQ Artemis using a resource adapter. Once a request comes into the web server, it is sent to an ActiveMQ Artemis queue, and then the request is sent to the consumer. However, I want to hold that message for 10 seconds before it is delivered to the consumer.

Is it possible to achieve this in ActiveMQ Artemis?

Here’s some of my broker.xml:

  <address-settings>
    <address-setting match="#">
      <dead-letter-address>DLQ</dead-letter-address>
      <expiry-address>ExpiryQueue</expiry-address>

      <auto-create-dead-letter-resources>true</auto-create-dead-letter-resources>

    </address-setting>
