messagelistnerContainer how does it process messages ?

suppose 10 clients sent messages at the same time to a queue how does the messagsListnerContainer process these messages ?
does it process all messages in the queue at the same time or one after the other ?

It depends....

It depends on your settings if there is 1 thread consuming messages it is 1 of there are more it is more. It also depends on your JMS provider and how it handles messages although that is of lesser influence as the previous statement.

I want my message to be consumed immediately as it arrives to the queue.
please tell me what in messagelistnerContainer should I configure for this behavior ? I am using activeMQ JMS provider

In theory that is what is happening depending on the load on the queye. If there are 1000 messages on the queue you don't want to process them ALL at once.. That is why you have a queue...
