The JVM that is processing an entity bean has the @Consumed method
invoked as a kinda lifecycle hook - as an alternative to the entity
bean just being deleted.

So either your producer could poll using a JPA query for entities
which are marked processed; or you could explicitly send a
notification message?
FWIW if the processing of the consumer fails, you might want to just
rollback the transaction and retry again later?

from("jpa:MyEntityBean").to("activemq:TheProducersQueue");
