Spring integration JMS late transaction acknowledgement & commit

Question

I'm using spring-integration (and boot) to setup a session transacted JMS listener. However i'm observing an issue where messages seem to be being acknowledged and committed one second late (even though they are processed much faster by the spring-integration app.

Setup:

#Properties
spring.activemq.broker-url=nio://localhost:61616
spring.activemq.pool.enabled=true
spring.activemq.pool.max-connections=15
spring.activemq.pool.block-if-full=false

#ConnectionFactory
    @Bean
    public ActiveMQConnectionFactoryCustomizer activeMQConnectionFactoryCustomizer() {
        return factory -> {
            factory.setClientIDPrefix(amqClientId);
        };
    }

#Inbound Gateway
    @Bean
    public IntegrationFlow jmsInFlow(ConnectionFactory connectionFactory, JmsMessageConverter messageConverter) {
        TracingMessageListenerContainer tracingMessageListenerContainer = new TracingMessageListenerContainer();
        tracingMessageListenerContainer.setConnectionFactory(connectionFactory);
        ActiveMQQueue destination = new ActiveMQQueue(jmsIn);
        tracingMessageListenerContainer.setDestination(destination);
        tracingMessageListenerContainer.setSessionTransacted(true);
        tracingMessageListenerContainer.setSessionAcknowledgeMode(CLIENT_ACKNOWLEDGE);
        tracingMessageListenerContainer.setConcurrency("100-200");
        tracingMessageListenerContainer.setCacheLevel(CACHE_CONSUMER);
        return IntegrationFlows.from(Jms.inboundGateway(tracingMessageListenerContainer)
                .jmsMessageConverter(messageConverter)
                .explicitQosEnabledForReplies(true)
                .replyDeliveryPersistent(false)
                .errorChannel("integrationError"))
                .log(INFO, "InboundMessage")
                .headerFilter("jms_type") //FIXME Needed as header is copied from source message to response, should replace with headerFilter on jms gateway
                .channel(INFRA_IN)
                .get();
    }

#Outbound Adapter
    @Bean
    public IntegrationFlow jmsOutFlow(ConnectionFactory connectionFactory, JmsMessageConverter messageConverter) {
        return IntegrationFlows.from(INFRA_OUT)
                .log(INFO, "OutboundMessage")
                .handle(Jms.outboundAdapter(connectionFactory)
                        .configureJmsTemplate(jmsTemplateSpec -> {
                            jmsTemplateSpec.jmsMessageConverter(messageConverter);
                            jmsTemplateSpec.sessionTransacted(true);
                            jmsTemplateSpec.sessionAcknowledgeMode(CLIENT_ACKNOWLEDGE);
                            jmsTemplateSpec.explicitQosEnabled(true);
                        })
                        .deliveryModeFunction((Function<org.springframework.messaging.Message<JsonMessage>, Integer>)
                                message -> Optional.ofNullable(message.getHeaders().get(SEND_PERSISTED_HEADER, Boolean.class))
                                        .map(value -> value ? PERSISTENT : NON_PERSISTENT)
                                        .orElse(NON_PERSISTENT)
                        )
                        .destination(jmsOut))
                .get();
    }

These are the logs from the broker, you can see the final acknowledge and commit is exactly 1 second late (from the App's logs i can see it finished processing earlier also):

Does anyone have any idea what i've got wrong in my setup that is causing this latency issue?

Update: These are the logs from the actual application (as opposed to broker logs above). Not for the same timestamp, but for the set of messages so it should be comparable. The delay does not seem to be present here.

Answer 1

If there is a possibility of no reply, and as long as you don't use any async handoff in your flow (queue channels, executor channels), you can set .replyTimeOut(0L) on the inbound gateway to prevent the default 1 second delay which is intended to wait for an async reply.
