Interface DeliveryMode
PERSISTENT
and
NON_PERSISTENT
.
A client marks a message as persistent if it feels that the application will have problems if the message is lost in transit. A client marks a message as non-persistent if an occasional lost message is tolerable. Clients use delivery mode to tell a JMS provider how to balance message transport reliability with throughput.
Delivery mode covers only the transport of the message to its
destination. Retention of a message at the destination until
its receipt is acknowledged is not guaranteed by a PERSISTENT
delivery mode. Clients should assume that message retention
policies are set administratively. Message retention policy
governs the reliability of message delivery from destination
to message consumer. For example, if a client's message storage
space is exhausted, some messages may be dropped in accordance with
a site-specific message retention policy.
A message is guaranteed to be delivered once and only once
by a JMS provider if the delivery mode of the message is
PERSISTENT
and if the destination has a sufficient message retention policy.

NON_PERSISTENT
static final int NON_PERSISTENTThis is the lowest-overhead delivery mode because it does not require that the message be logged to stable storage. The level of JMS provider failure that causes aNON_PERSISTENT
message to be lost is not defined.A JMS provider must deliver a
NON_PERSISTENT
message with an at-most-once guarantee. This means that it may lose the message, but it must not deliver it twice.- See Also:

static final int PERSISTENTThis delivery mode instructs the JMS provider to log the message to stable storage as part of the client's send operation. Only a hard media failure should cause aPERSISTENT
message to be lost.- See Also:
