  3. Hi Vivek,

    I am a great fan of your blog. I am facing one issue where OSB is consuming from JMS Queue and then calling a BPEL (Synhronous), this BPEL has just one wait activity that waits for 5 mins, Now when the osb invokes the bpel it goes in time out scenario and the message which is picked from JMS queue is not written to the error queue. I have made necessary arrangements so that message should go to the error queue in case of error. I am not able to understand if there any way by which I can ensure that messages goes to the error queue. Also the call from OSB to BPEL is HTTP.

    It will be great of you if you can give any suggestion on this.

  4. Hi Nishith,

    I suggest you to use Asynchronous process if there is wait of 5 minutes instead of synchronous process. Pick the message from JMS queue, call the BPEL process asynchronously and get the response back from BPEL to OSB using callback proxy service.
