Openwire Session doesn't run its MessageListeners from a single thread ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: AMQCPP-90 URL: https://issues.apache.org/activemq/browse/AMQCPP-90 Project: ActiveMQ C++ Client Issue Type: Bug Components: Openwire Affects Versions: 2.0 Reporter: Albert Strasheim Assigned To: Nathan Mittler Fix For: 2.0 According to the JMS 1.1 specification, section 4.4.14 Serial Execution of Client Code: For this reason, JMS does not cause concurrent execution of client code unless a client explicitly requests it. One way this is done is to define that a session serializes all asynchronous delivery of messages. To receive messages asynchronously, a client registers an object that implements the JMS MessageListener interface with a MessageConsumer. In effect, a Session uses a single thread to run all its MessageListeners. While the thread is busy executing one listener, all other messages to be asynchronously delivered to the session must wait. In the attached code I have 5 consumers created from the same session, all with the same message listener instance that receives a message, prints something and then sleeps for a while. When running the C++ code, one sees that 5 messages (there are 5 consumers) are delivered at approximately the same time. Under Java, one only sees 1 message delivered per interval. This seems to indicate that the Openwire Session doesn't run its MessageListeners from a single thread. This can cause problems if the user's MessageListener isn't thread safe. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
