| = How do I retry failed messages forever? |
| |
| If you want to keep the bad message in the original queue, then you are |
| also blocking the messages that has arrived on the queue after the bad |
| message. |
| |
| By default Camel will retry consuming a message up til 6 times before |
| its moved to the default dead letter queue. |
| |
| If you configure the xref:dead-letter-channel.adoc[Dead Letter Channel] |
| to use `maximumRedeliveries = -1` then Camel will retry forever. |
| |
| When you consume a message you can check the in message header |
| `org.apache.camel.redeliveryCount` that contains the number of times it |
| has been redlivered. |
| |
| Or `org.apache.camel.Redelivered` that contains a boolean if its |
| redelivered or if its the first time the message is processed. |
