[rabbitmq-discuss] 'immediate' vs 'mandatory'

Fri Jun 4 18:03:01 BST 2010

Well, 'a' and 'b' are actually different IMHO.

If I have a consumer with noAck set to 'false', then I am sending the basicAck conditionally inside of the handleDelivery() method. This means that even though handleDelivery() was successfully invoked, the ACK might not have been sent, right?

Cheers
Oleg
