The description of redelivery related attributes in Configuring Messaging document should be corrected.

I confirmed these parameters' behavior on EAP 7.2.0 using helloworld_02444826_v2.zip (attached). Step to Reproduce 1. Install EAP 7.2.0 and create node1. $ cd <your work dir> $ unzip /path/to/jboss-eap-7.2.0.zip $ jboss-eap-7.2 jboss-eap-7.2.0 $ cp -a jboss-eap-7.2.0/standalone node1 2. Modify node1/configuration/standalone-full.xml (add the line (*2-1) and (*2-2)). <subsystem xmlns="urn:jboss:domain:messaging-activemq:4.0"> <server name="default"> <journal pool-files="10"/> <security-setting name="#"> <role name="guest" send="true" consume="true" create-non-durable-queue="true" delete-non-durable-queue="true"/> </security-setting> <address-setting name="#" dead-letter-address="jms.queue.DLQ" expiry-address="jms.queue.ExpiryQueue" max-size-bytes="10485760" page-size-bytes="2097152" message-counter-history-day-limit="10"/> <address-setting name="jms.queue.exampleQueue" redelivery-delay="5000" /> <---------- (2-1) <http-connector name="http-connector" socket-binding="http" endpoint="http-acceptor"/> <http-connector name="http-connector-throughput" socket-binding="http" endpoint="http-acceptor-throughput"> <param name="batch-delay" value="50"/> </http-connector> <in-vm-connector name="in-vm" server-id="0"> <param name="buffer-pooling" value="false"/> </in-vm-connector> <http-acceptor name="http-acceptor" http-listener="default"/> <http-acceptor name="http-acceptor-throughput" http-listener="default"> <param name="batch-delay" value="50"/> <param name="direct-deliver" value="false"/> </http-acceptor> <in-vm-acceptor name="in-vm" server-id="0"> <param name="buffer-pooling" value="false"/> </in-vm-acceptor> <jms-queue name="exampleQueue" entries="java:/jms/queue/exampleQueue"/> <---------- (2-2) <jms-queue name="ExpiryQueue" entries="java:/jms/queue/ExpiryQueue"/> <jms-queue name="DLQ" entries="java:/jms/queue/DLQ"/> <connection-factory name="InVmConnectionFactory" entries="java:/ConnectionFactory" connectors="in-vm"/> <connection-factory name="RemoteConnectionFactory" entries="java:jboss/exported/jms/RemoteConnectionFactory" connectors="http-connector"/> <pooled-connection-factory name="activemq-ra" entries="java:/JmsXA java:jboss/DefaultJMSConnectionFactory" connectors="in-vm" transaction="xa"/> </server> </subsystem> 3. Start node1. $ $JBOSS_HOME/bin/standalone.sh -Djboss.server.base.dir=./node1 -c standalone-full.xml 4. Build and deploy helloworld_02444826_v2 testcase. $ unzip /path/to/jboss-eap-7.2.0-quickstarts.zip $ cd jboss-eap-7.2.0.GA-quickstarts $ unzip /path/to/helloworld_02444826_v2.zip $ cd helloworld_02444826_v2 $ mvn clean package wildfly:deploy 5.

Reference These parameters' behavior is basically derived from ActiveMQ Artemis (*2).
