Hi Thanks for the information. As suggested by you, ActiveMQ will ensure that the same message does not gets picked up by both the consumers. But can we have more than one listeners to the queue like listener1 processes message1 and listener2 processes message2 at the same time. This will improve performance. Is this possible with ActiveMQ?
