Creating a JMS Correlation ID

Question

It is generally discouraged to use the message id returned from the JMS provider as the correlation id with which a message is published onto a queue. How have people generated their correlation ids for a request/response architecture?

Answer 1

Clients can use a unique ID standard like UUID to generate a new ID. Here is good tutorial for you.

You can return correlation id from JMS provider using following code.

message.setJMSCorrelationID(UUID.randomUUID().toString());
producer.send(message);
LOG.info("jms-client sent:" + message.getJMSCorrelationID());  

Cheers.
