How to define priority on a message?

Hi.
if I want messages on queues to be handled according to priority,
it seems like the only thing that works is to call:

Code:

---

jmsTemplate.setPriority

---

before each send with the required priority.
However, there is also a configuration on the AMQ broker:
prioritizedMessages

Code:

---

<destinationPolicy>
            <policyMap>
            <policyEntries>
                        <policyEntry queue=">" prioritizedMessages="true">

---

This seems to have no influence on anything from my testings.
Should this be used or is it enough to set the jms template?

thanks

You need to also enable QoS on that template by setting the 'explicitQosEnabled' property to true.

I know. i did, this is why the jmsTemplate.setPriority works.
However, i don't understand what is the use for setting the prioritizedMessages in the activemq xml. is this needed or is it enough to set the jms template with a priority?
And is there a way to set the message itself with a priority instead of jmstemplate? when i did

Code:

---

message.setJMSPriority

---

it did not work.
