Can I have an acknowledgement of delivery when I send a MQTT message with a QOS to 0?
How can I intercept answer with javascript, node.JS ?
You won't get any acknowledgement at the MQTT protocol level from any QOS. The protocol has no concept of a end to end acknowledgement, at QOS1 or QOS2 the handshake is only between the publisher and the broker and then between the broker and the subscriber.
If you want acknowledgement then you need to implement that yourself by publishing a response message that the original publisher can see.
Instead of that you can just subscribe to your own topic and check if you've recieved the message!

I'm using the stomp-client library and i want to know if it is possible to know if the message was delivered to the queue. Because im implementing a java service to do the dequeue of the messages and an node js to send the messages to the queue. the code bellow shows how I send the message to the queue.
this._stompClient.publish('/queue/MessagesQueue', messageToPublish, { })
When you send a SEND frame (i.e. publish a message) you can add a receipt header and then when you receive the RECEIPT frame from the broker you know it has successfully received the message. The STOMP specification says this about the receipt header:
Any client frame other than CONNECT MAY specify a receipt header with an arbitrary value. This will cause the server to acknowledge receipt of the frame with a RECEIPT frame which contains the value of this header as the value of the receipt-id header in the RECEIPT frame.
However, looking at the documentation for stomp-client I don't see any mention of how to receive RECEIPT frames. I actually would expect the ability to specify a callback on the publish method which was called when the RECEIPT frame is received. It doesn't appear that stomp-client supports working with receipts. Unfortunately that means there's no real way to confirm the message was received by the broker.
I recommend you find a more mature STOMP client implementation that supports receipts. For example stomp-js supports receipts.
Is there any way to implement request-response pattern with mosca MQTT to "check reply from the client and re publish if i dont receive expected reply within expected time".
I believe this is possible in Mqtt 5, but as of now, I have to use Mosca broker with QoS 1(which support until Mqtt 3.1.1)
I am looking for a Node js workaround to achieve this.
As per my comment you can implement a request-response pattern with any MQTT broker but, prior to v5, you need to implement this yourself (either have a single reply-to topic and a message ID, or include a specific reply-to topic within each message).
Because MQTT 3.11 itself does not provide this functionality directly and there is no standard format for the MQTT payload (just some bytes!) its not possible to come up with a generic implementation (a unique id of some kind is needed within the request). This is resolved in MQTT v5 through the ability to include properties including Response Topic and Correlation Data. For earlier versions you are stuck with adding some extra information into the payload (using whatever encoding mechanism you choose).
There are a few Stack Overflow questions that might provide some insight:
MQTT topic names for request/response

Amazon device shadow MQTT topics (e.g. send message to $aws/things/thingName/shadow/get and AWS IoT responds on /get/accepted or /get/rejected).
Here are a few node packages (note: these have not been updated for some time and I have not reviewed the code):
replyer
resmetry
Even with MQTT v5 you would need to implement the idle timeout bit yourself. If you are using QOS 1/2 then the broker will take care of resending the message (until it receives a PUBACK/PUBCOMP) so resending the message may be counterproductive (lots of identical messages queued up while the comms link is down)
The summary of the workflow i have done
Adding "Correlation Id" for each message
The expected reply is stored in Redis as the Request Payload(Request with the
Correlation Id as a key) to compare response from the client.
The entry will be removed from Redis if the expected message is
equivalent to the expected response topic and payload.
Time out uses node cron jobs for each response from the client to
Server.
I' m using a MQTT publisher, RabbitMQ and a Mqtt subscriber. I have installed on RabbitMQ the plugin for to label the messages with timestamp (rabbitmq_message_timestamp).
I have built an AMQP Publisher, an AMQP Subscriber and a MQTT Subscriber using node.js and a MQTT Publisher using Node-Red (and the MQTT out block) setting the topic to test the server url, username and password of RabbitMQ user, retain=true and no QoS.
1st PROBLEM) When I use an AMQP Publisher and an AMQP Subscriber, i can retrieve (side Subscriber) the RabbitMQ's timestamp by reading the field with path: msg.properties.timestamp. But when I use a MQTT Publiher and a MQTT subscriber, if I try to retrieve the value of msg.properties.timestamp, the nodejs windows says that field "properties" is undefined.
2nd PROBLEM) When I public message with my Node-Red MQTT Publisher (with topic "test") if a MQTT Subscriber is running on test queue, it downloads the messages, but if there isn't any Subribers on test queue, the RabbitMQ console says that test queue is empty. After stopping the MQTT pUblisher, if I try to connect the MQTT Subscriber to test queue, it will receive only the last message.
Can anyone help me to solve these problems?
There is no where in a MQTT message to store the additional meta data properties (such as the timestamp you mention).
MQTT message headers pretty much just hold the topic, QOS and a retained flag.
So if you subscribe with the Node-RED MQTT client node that is the only meta data that will be available.
I have PUB/SUB program using zmq broker ( node.js ).
Subscriber doesn't receive messages while subscriber is restarted and publisher is still publishing the messages. But PUB/SUB is working fine when both publisher and subscriber services are started naturally. Reason behind this is unknown.
What could possibly be wrong?
While it is impossible to cover exactly a case of an undisclosed MCVE-design of using a PUB-archetype, on Publisher side, and an unspecified number of SUB-archetype nodes on the Subscribers' sides, there is one important fact.
The Design
Yes, the Design. Having read the API, user will be sure that
ZeroMQ does not guarrantee a message delivery
ZeroMQ PUB-lisher does not wait and publishes a message for all connected SUB-scribers, not waiting for late-joiners, nor providing any queue/persistence for not connected SUB-scribers and discards all messages that were requested to PUB-lish during times there are no SUB-s connected.
I have issue when using npm mqtt with nodejs. Sever subscribe topic 'alert/userId' to receive data publish from client then server unsubscribe this topic . after each subscribe and unsubscribe message is duplicate. The client sends 1 message; the server receives more 1 message.
How did you publish the message? Did you set the retained flag to true?
If so this message will be delivered every time the client connects to the broker until it is cleared (by sending a null payload message to the same topic)
Publishing with QoS 1 means the message will be delivered at least once. Any subscribers could then receive the same message more than once.
You probably want to use QoS 2 if you want the message to be delivered exactly once.
