I've looked into this a little more and have found that if I throw an Exception out of onMessage then the retry value is honoured. Like this:

        public void onMessage(Message msg) {
                try {
.....
                } catch (Throwable ex) {
                        // Force a transaction rollback and redelivery
                        messageDrivenContext.setRollbackOnly();
                        throw new RuntimeException(ex);
                }

I thought you were always meant to use setRollbackOnly() ?

If the code is:

        public void onMessage(Message msg) {
                try {
.....
                } catch (Throwable ex) {
                        // Force a transaction rollback and redelivery
                        messageDrivenContext.setRollbackOnly();
                }

The message retries forever until I purge the Queue. Incidentally the above code works fine in Weblogic 9. :-)
