Database Software

I have written a stand alone (Java SE 1.6) JMS client program to consume AQ's messages via Oracle JMS API (aqapi.jar). The queue is a multiple consumer queue, and i just created one subscriber on it. My JMS client program receives messages asynchronously by setting the MessageListener using the setMessageListener method.

Watching the work of the program, I found significant delays in receiving messages that are up to several seconds. When I turned on the diagnostic trace, I found that in the absence of messages listener (AQjmsSimpleScheduler) gradually increases the delay time up to 15 seconds:


Thread-1 [Mon May 06 22:14:23 MSK 2013] AQjmsSimpleScheduler.feedData: Got a non null message, the sleep time is reset to 0

Thread-1 [Mon May 06 22:14:53 MSK 2013] AQjmsListenerWorker.doSleep: try to wait for 15000 milliseconds


Thus, in the worst case, the delay between placing the message in the queue and receiving it by the JMS client is 15 seconds.

Can I control this latency? For example, I would like to explicitly set the levels of the time delays. Have any ideas?

Thank you very much for your advices.
