Setting the scheduledSupport=true did the trick. And looking at the Activemq page describing the delay header fields, the second line clearly states that you have to do this to use the properties. Sight! Poor reading skills on my side.
Just for anybody else who needs to set this and wonder where to set it (might save someone 3 minutes with google); 1. Open the activemq configuration file 'conf/activemq.xml' 2. Find the bean 'broker'. 3. Add at the end of the declaration the 'schedulerSupported="true"', i.e. schedulerSupport="true"> 4. Restart activemq. -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Howto-use-delay-message-brokerage-in-a-Camel-Route-using-AMQ-SCHEDULED-DELAY-tp4282763p4284861.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
