Assembly: TIBCO.EMS (in TIBCO.EMS.dll)
Syntax
public virtual void Send( Destination dest, Message message, int deliveryMode, int priority, long timeToLive ) |
Public Overridable Sub Send ( _ dest As Destination, _ message As Message, _ deliveryMode As Integer, _ priority As Integer, _ timeToLive As Long _ ) |
public: virtual void Send( Destination^ dest, Message^ message, int deliveryMode, int priority, long long timeToLive ) |
Parameters
- dest
- Type: TIBCO.EMS..::.Destination
The destination (queue or topic) to send this message.
- message
- Type: TIBCO.EMS..::.Message
The message to send.
- deliveryMode
- Type: System..::.Int32
The delivery mode to use. This argument may be either an enumerated value (see MessageDeliveryMode) or an integer (see DeliveryMode). We recommend enumerated values, because they enable .NET to do stronger type checking at compile time, which can enhance program reliability.
- priority
- Type: System..::.Int32
The priority for this message.
Priority affects the order in which the server delivers messages to consumers (higher values first). The JMS specification defines ten levels of priority value, from zero (lowest priority) to 9 (highest priority). The specification suggests that clients consider 0–4 as gradations of normal priority, and priorities 5–9 as gradations of expedited priority.
- timeToLive
- Type: System..::.Int64
The message's lifetime (in milliseconds) before it expires.
- If the time-to-live is non-zero, the expiration is the sum of that time-to-live and the sending client’s current time (GMT). This rule applies even within sessions with transaction semantics—the timer begins with the send call, not the commit call.
- If the time-to-live is zero, then expiration is also zero—indicating that the message never expires.
Programs can use this property to define a default time-to-live for messages that this producer sends. Individual sending calls can override this default value.
Whenever your application uses non-zero values for message expiration or time-to-live, you must ensure that clocks are synchronized among all the host computers that send and receive messages. Synchronize clocks to a tolerance that is a very small fraction of the smallest or time-to-live.
Remarks
Typically, a message producer is assigned a destination at creation time; however, the TIBCO EMS .NET API also supports unidentified message producers, which require that the destination be supplied every time a message is sent.
