I'm developing a replacement for an exisitng service using the MQ base API for Java. My legacy client polls the reply queue for a specified amount of time and then gives up. If it hasn't taken the message from the queue before giving up, any reply sent after that will just sit there until it expires. I'm looking for a way to set the message expiration for reply messages that I am sending from my service so that they will not sit on the queue for too long.
I'm pretty new to the MQ base API, so I apologize if this is a basic thing. I actually did a fair amount of searching before deciding to post. |

It's fairly basic. I'm surprised the search didn't turn up the Expiry property of the MQMD header but that's what you're looking for. Start with the description of the field in the Application Programming Reference and work outwards.

MD.Expiry is the thing you want, as Vitor has said. |

Vitor,
Thanks for the tip. That was exactly what I needed.
For the record, this was a Java solution. |
