So, would it make sense that in my customConsumer that extends ScheduledPollConsumer, I override doStart() to schedule more tasks? Is this thread-safe to do?
@Override protected void doStart() throws Exception { if (log.isDebugEnabled()) { log.debug("Starting consumer: " + this); } ServiceHelper.startServices(getProcessor()); for(int i=0; i < threadPoolSize; i++){ if (isUseFixedDelay()) { executorService.scheduleWithFixedDelay(this, getInitialDelay(), getDelay(), getTimeUnit()); } else { executorService.scheduleAtFixedRate(this, getInitialDelay(), getDelay(), getTimeUnit()); } } } Claus Ibsen-2 wrote: > > On Fri, Mar 19, 2010 at 2:49 AM, tide08 <sachin2...@yahoo.com> wrote: >> >> Sorry, I am much confused at this point :( >> >> In regards to ScheduledPollConsumer, is poll() method invoked by >> concurrent >> consumers? or is it just one consumer?
