How to delete a message from the JMS queue

Question

Is there any API to delete a message from the JMS queue without using the monitoring admin tool.

Answer 1

I had to additionally call session.commit() for the consumer to delete messages.

Additionally, the receivenowait API doesn't work; call receive(1000) instead.

Here is a working piece of code I wrote that worked on jboss:

try {
  connection = connectionFactory.createConnection();
  session = connection.createSession(true,-1);
  Queue queue = (Queue) QueueConnectionFactory.getInitialContext().lookup("/queue/DLQ");
  QueueBrowser browser = session.createBrowser(queue);
  Enumeration<?> enum1 = browser.getEnumeration();

  while(enum1.hasMoreElements()) {
    TextMessage msg = (TextMessage)enum1.nextElement();
    MessageConsumer consumer = session.createConsumer(queue, "JMSMessageID='" +  msg.getJMSMessageID()  + "'");
    //You can try starting the connection outside while loop as well, I think I started it inside while loop by mistake, but since this code worked I am hence letting you know what worked  
    connection.start();
    Message message = consumer.receive(1000) ;
    if ( message != null ) {
        //do something with message
    }
  }
} 
finally {
  session.commit();
  consumer.close();
  browser.close();
  session.close();
  connection.close();
}
