Sorry Michele - I missed the configuration in the jmsConfig bean. Also, I should've looked at the screenshot you posted - it shows the 10 consumers, with only one consuming.
I ran you're JMS config with a simple consuming route, but I'm seeing all of the consumers working - I don't get any inactive consumers. I'm using the ActiveMQ Management console to look at this. Here's the route I ran and I'll post a screenshot of my ActiveMQ console <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <blueprint xmlns="http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/blueprint/v1.0.0" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:camel="http://camel.apache.org/schema/blueprint" xsi:schemaLocation=" http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/blueprint/v1.0.0 http://www.osgi.org/xmlns/blueprint/v1.0.0/blueprint.xsd http://camel.apache.org/schema/blueprint http://camel.apache.org/schema/blueprint/camel-blueprint.xsd"> <bean id="jmsConnectionFactory" class="org.apache.activemq.ActiveMQConnectionFactory"> <property name="brokerURL" value="tcp://localhost:61616"/> <property name="userName" value="admin" /> <property name="password" value="admin" /> </bean> <bean id="pooledConnectionFactory" class="org.apache.activemq.pool.PooledConnectionFactory" init-method="start" destroy-method="stop"> <property name="maxConnections" value="8"/> <property name="connectionFactory" ref="jmsConnectionFactory"/> </bean> <bean id="jmsConfig" class="org.apache.camel.component.jms.JmsConfiguration"> <property name="connectionFactory" ref="pooledConnectionFactory"/> <property name="concurrentConsumers" value="10"/> </bean> <bean id="my-amq" class="org.apache.activemq.camel.component.ActiveMQComponent"> <property name="configuration" ref="jmsConfig"/> </bean> <camel:camelContext id="michele-context" xmlns="http://camel.apache.org/schema/blueprint"> <route id="ProcessTicket_Route"> <from uri="my-amq://queue:incomingTickets?destination.consumer.prefetchSize=0"/> <throttle timePeriodMillis="1000" asyncDelayed="true"> <constant>1</constant> <to uri="mock://result" /> </throttle> </route> </camel:camelContext> </blueprint> -- View this message in context: http://camel.465427.n5.nabble.com/Understanding-Pooled-Connection-Factory-on-ActiveMQ-tp5780689p5780779.html Sent from the Camel - Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
