** Apologies if this came through yesterday. I sent it once but don't
think it left my outbox! **
I'm new to messaging so forgive me if this is a silly question.
I would like a number of in-process consumers subscribing to different
topics.
Whenever one of these topics ticks, I would like to callback to a Java
method.
What is the right idiom for doing this? Something like the following is
fine in the scenario where we only have a single consumer:
while ( ( message = consumer.receive( 10000 ) ) != null )
{
processMessage( message );
}
But clearly isn't what we need where we have multiple consumers.
I've considered placing each consumer in it's own thread, but I'd like
the callback to be called in a deterministic order (ie the same order
that the message arrives in.) The semantics of the avaialble receive
methods also don't seem to fit with doing this.
new Thread()
{
public void run()
{
try
{
Message message;
while ( ( message = consumer.receive(
1000000 ) ) != null )
{
processMessage( message );
}
}
catch( Exception exception )
{
exception.printStackTrace();
}
}
}.start();
Is there any example code around for this?
Thanks in advance
Ben
