I tried to add these following parameters to my redelivery policy and * activeMQ* is not respecting any of them except maximumRedelivery <spring:bean id="redeliveryPolicy" class="*org*.*apache*.*activemq* .RedeliveryPolicy"> <spring:property name="maximumRedeliveries" value="5"/> <spring:property name="initialRedeliveryDelay" value="5000"/> <spring:property name="redeliveryDelay" value="2000"/> <spring:property name="useExponentialBackOff" value="true"/> <spring:property name="backOffMultiplier" value="2"/>
</spring:bean> I have filled a jira for this issue too, if someone knows a quick workaround, my major concern is to use redeliveryDelay *attribute* with maximumRedeliveries? https://issues.*apache*.*org*/jira/browse/AMQ-3285<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/AMQ-3285> I am using *activeMQ* 5.4.2 and the same issue is still there in 5.5.0 also
