JMS with Spring Integration or Spring Batch - jms

Our project is to integrate two applications, using the REST API of each and using JMS (to provide asynchronous nature). Application-1 writes the message on the queue. The next step is to read the message from the queue, process it, and send it to application2.
I have two questions:
Should we use one more queue for storing messages after processing and before sending them to application2?
Should we use spring batch or spring integration to read/process the data?

Or you don't show the whole premise, or you really try to overhead your app. If there is just need to read messages from the queue, there is just enough to use Spring JMS directly... From other side with the Spring Integration and its Adapters power you can just process messes from the <int-jms:message-driven-channel-adapter> to the <int-http:outbound-channel-adapter>.
Don't see reason to store message somewhere else in the reading and sending process. Just because with some exception here you just rollback your message to the JMS queue back.

Can we restrict spring boot rabbitmq message processing only between specific timings?

Using Spring boot #RabbitListener, we are able to process the AMQP messages.
Whenever a message sent to queue its immediately publish to destination exchange.
Using #RabbitListener we are able to process the message immediately.
But we need to process the message only between specific timings example 1AM to 6AM.
How to achieve that ?
First of all you can take a look into Delayed Exchange feature of RabbitMQ: https://docs.spring.io/spring-amqp/docs/current/reference/html/#delayed-message-exchange
So, this way on the producer side you should determine how long the message should be delayed before it is routed to the main exchange for the actual consuming afterwards.
Another way is to take a look into Spring Integration and its Delayer component: https://docs.spring.io/spring-integration/docs/5.2.0.BUILD-SNAPSHOT/reference/html/messaging-endpoints.html#delayer
This way you will consume messages from the RabbitMQ, but will delay them in the target application logic.
And another way I see like start()/stop() the listener container for consumption and after according your timing requirements. This way the message is going to stay in the RabbitMQ until you start the listener container: https://docs.spring.io/spring-amqp/docs/current/reference/html/#containerAttributes

Deferred consumption of message queue

Sorry this might sound naive to JMS gurus, but still.
I have a requirement where a Spring based application is not able to connect synchronously to a SAP back-end (via their web-service interface) because the response from SAP is way too slow. We are thinking of a solution where the updates from GUI would be saved by the Spring middle-ware in a local database, simultaneously sending a message to a JMS queue. We want that after (say) every few hours (or may be nightly) a batch job runs to consume the message from the JMS queue, and based on the message contents, queries on the local database and sends the result to the SAP web-service.
Is this approach correct? Would I need a batch to trigger the JMS message consumption (because I don't want to consume the message immediately but in a deferred manner and at a pre-decided time)? Is there any way in Spring to implement this gracefully (like Camel)? Appreciate your help.
Spring Batch has a JmsItemReader that can be used in a batch program; an empty queue signals the end of the batch. Spring Cloud Task is built on top of batch and can be used for cloud deployments.

Consume multiple JMS messages in a single commit with Spring Integration

What is the most elegant way to consume multiple JMS messages in a single transaction in Spring Integration without storing the message again in an Aggregator backed by a persistent Message Store?
In an previous project based on IBM Integration Bus this feature (IBM calls it Commit Count) was very helpful to increase message throughput.
See the Spring Batch BatchMessageListenerContainer.

Does Spring XD re-process the same message when one of it's container goes down while processing the message?

Application Data Flow:
JSon Messages--> Active MQ --> Spring XD-- Business Login(Transform JSon to Java Object)--> Save Data to Target DB--> DB.
Question:
Sprin-Xd is running in cluster mode, configured with Radis.
Spring XD picks up the message from the Active message queue(AMQ). So message is no longer in AMQ. Now while one of the containers where this message is being processed with some business logic suddenly goes down. In this scenarios-
Will Spring-XD framework automatically re-process that particular message ? what's mechanism behind that?
Thanks,
Abhi
Not with a Redis transport; Redis has no infrastructure to support such a requirement ("transactional" reads). You would need to use a rabbit or kafka transport.
EDIT:
See Application Configuration (scroll down to RabbitMQ) and Message Bus Configuration.
Specifically, the default ackMode is AUTO which means messages are acknowledged on success.

Shadowing a JMS queue without consuming with Spring

I’m looking to write a little Spring JMS debugging utility that can shadow and log what is being posted onto a JMS queue (HornetQ on a remote server) but not consume the message as that is to be left to another MDB. Does the Spring allow this feature out of the box?
