anonymous wrote : The idea of a queue having only one process that can pull messages off is absurd For every message a consumer receives from a queue it needs to send an ack back to the server. If a queue has a single consumer then the server can deliver many messages to it which the consumer can ack in its own time, this is how we do it in JBoss Messaging with a client side buffer.. If a queue has multiple consumers the server can not to this. It has to wait until the first message is acked from the first consumer before it sends a message to the second so ordering could be guaranteed, meaning throughput would be slow and it wouldn't matter how many workers you had. If it doesn't wait until the first message is acked then you cant guarantee ordering on the client side.
