MDP and dynamic selector

[matthiask]

Hi,

I have a use case where my application needs to listen to a JMS queue and dynamically alter its message selector during runtime. I have currently solved this by having a QueueConnectionFactory injected from which I in a thread safe manner maintain a single QueueReceiver that I close and recreate.

This appears to work well (though more testing is needed), but I'm slightly worried that I might need to have several receivers ready to make the application more concurrent.

This requirement of changing message selector during runtime, is this something that Spring can help me with? I have looked over the JavaDoc but could not find an obvious way to go about solving this.

Any help would be appreciated.

message selector is normally configured in XML for the MDB / MDPs. so it's not good idea to switch it dynamically. since u r using Q, if u have single subscriber, u can choose to not publish the message at publisher side based on the condition. else, if multiple subscribers are choosing from the queue (for some non-load-balancing reason), i guess u can't prevent the subscriber from first looking at the message. he can always look at the message and do nothing - the dynamically not selecting equivalent. if it is some other subscriber's message, then to give the other subscriber a chance to look at it, u would need to change the queue to topic, so both subscribers at least receive the message for them to peek at it. creating new receiver as u suggested can be resorted to if the dynamic selection switching is very infrequent.
