Hi there,  
i am using solace-jms-spring-boot-starter and jmstemplate in spring boot to send messages to queue. How can i set the DMQ Eligible flag over jmstemplate? Currently all my messages have the status DMQ Eligible NO.

> public void sendEvent() throws Exception {  
> String msg = “Hello World " + System.currentTimeMillis();  
> System.out.println(”==========SENDING MESSAGE========== " + msg);  
> jmsTemplate.setDeliveryMode(DeliveryMode.PERSISTENT);  
> jmsTemplate.convertAndSend(queueName, msg);  
> }

As i understood, i have to use SolAdmin in Spring Boot. But is there any other ways?

You should not have to use SolAdmin. Similar to what link was posted earlier, there is another link with available properties.  
[Message Properties](https://docs.solace.com/API/Solace-JMS-API/Message-Properties.htm)  
You can set all these properties via the JMS Template. The following is an example of how you could accomplish this.

jmsTemplate.convertAndSend(ORDER\_QUEUE, order, m → {  
m.setJMSCorrelationID(UUID.randomUUID().toString());  
m.setJMSExpiration( 1000 );  
m.setBooleanProperty(SupportedProperty.SOLACE\_JMS\_PROP\_ELIDING\_ELIGIBLE, true);  
return m;  
}
