Is it possible for a Mule message to expire (i.e. the container will discard the message) after a configured amount of time (like the JMS TTL property)? If there is please can you point me to the documentation or example?
Can we use the attribute queueTimeout (see http://www.mulesoft.org/documentation/display/current/VM+Transport+Reference) to achieve this?
Cheers
No, the queueTimeout attribute does not control the TTL for messages on the queue. It is used when performing blocking operations on the queue (like dispatching a message or polling for a message).
This feature is not built into the VM transport. You might be able to accomplish the same idea by setting a message property with a timestamp before publishing it to the VM queue, and then filtering on the message age in the comsuming flow.
