Hi all, I am posting my SO question here too, hopefully I will get some more focused responses here :) I am using Akka (latest stable version), akka-camel and JMS (for the purposes of this conversation, let's say it's ActiveMQ, but ideally the solution should be generic). The use-case I have the following use-case. On a queue Q I receive messages like this: time: 1 2 3 4 5 6 | A1 | B1 | C1 | C2 | A2 | B2 | .... ^ ^ first latest My end goal is to pair them together in (A1,A2), (B1,B2), and so on; notwithstanding complications like duplicates and undelivered messages, the complication is that I have to ensure that, until a whole pair is matched and processes, *the broker will keep hold of all unacknowledged messages.* Example At 4 I received and processed 4 messages, and processed successfully pair (C1, C2), however I still cannot acknowledge anything back to the broker because A1 and B1 are still unmatched and pending, and in JMS *to acknowledge C2 means to acknowledge all messages up to C2*. As a matter of fact, the first acknowledgement I can send back is at time 5, when A2 is received: at this point I can acknowledge A1 (and only A1, as B1 is still pending). The problem Now, what I can't seem to figure out is how to do this kind of *delayed* and *async* acknowledgement via akka-camel. I have been reading online and, while I can find explanations on how to acknowledge messages manually ( docs and an example ), there is nothing showing how to acknowledge a previously processed message to the broker. import akka.camel.{ CamelMessage, Consumer }import akka.camel.Ackimport akka.actor.Status.Failure class Consumer3 extends Consumer { override def autoAck = false def endpointUri = "jms:queue:test" def receive = { case msg: CamelMessage => sender() ! Ack // on success // .. val someException = new Exception("e1") // on failure sender() ! Failure(someException) }} In this case, Ack is an object and its semantic is really just: *I acknowledge the current message* while I would need something like *Message X is now acknowledged*, where *X* is some previous message, but not necessarily the current one. Is this use-case supported or supportable via akka-camel or should I just build it myself? Thanks You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Akka User List" group.
