getJMSTimestamp

 

public long getJMSTimestamp() throws JMSException;

Gets the message timestamp.

The JMSTimestamp header field contains the time a message was handed to a provider to be sent. It is not the time the message was actually transmitted because that might occur later due to transactions or other client-side queueing of messages.

When a message is sent, JMSTimestamp is ignored. When the send method returns, it contains a time somewhere between the call and the return. It is in the format of a normal Java™ millisecond time value.

Returns

• the message timestamp

Exceptions

• JMSException - if an internal error occurs.
