public class OrderInterceptor extends ChannelInterceptorBase
The order interceptor guarantees that messages are received in the same order they were sent. This interceptor works best with the ack=true setting.
There is no point in using this with the replicationMode="fastasynchqueue" as this mode guarantees ordering.
If you are using the mode ack=false replicationMode=pooled, and have a lot of concurrent threads, this interceptor can really slow you down, as many messages will be completely out of order and the queue might become rather large. If this is the case, then you might want to set the value OrderInterceptor.maxQueue = 25 (meaning that we will never keep more than 25 messages in our queue)
Configuration Options
OrderInterceptor.expire=<milliseconds> - if a message arrives out of order, how long before we act on it default=3000ms
OrderInterceptor.maxQueue=<max queue size> - how much can the queue grow to ensure ordering. This setting is useful to avoid OutOfMemoryErrorsdefault=Integer.MAX_VALUE
OrderInterceptor.forwardExpired=<boolean> - this flag tells the interceptor what to do when a message has expired or the queue has grown larger than the maxQueue value. true means that the message is sent up the stack to the receiver that will receive and out of order message false means, forget the message and reset the message counter. default=true
