 FAQ > JMS > How do I make messages durable

Durability of messages is defined by the MessagerProducer. You can explicitly configure the durability via the setDeliveryMode() method. e.g.

MessageProducer producer = ...;
producer.setDeliveryMode(DeliveryMode.PERSISTENT);

Note that the default is for durable messages to be used if you don't specify a delivery mode.
