They are two different levels of granulartiy. ActiveMQ redelivery is at the JMS client level. Camel redelivery mechanics is at the processor level. Same with the DLQ.
Example: you have a route like this: form("activemq:queue:foo").log("Incoming message: ${body}").to("mock:end") What this means: your from("activemq:queue:foo") contains the JMS consumer. ActiveMQ's redelivery will be applied there (will retry entire route). If you set redelivery and DeadLetterChannel on the camel route, and for example there was an error delivering to("mock:end") the camel retry semantics will retry at to("mock:end"), not the entire route. If retries are exhausted on the camel side, the DLChannel will be run. If redelivery becomes exhausted at the consumer side, ActiveMQ will send a NACK back to broker and broker will place into DeadLetterQueue.
