I do not know this is the best / good one, But I got an Idea. 

1. Create a new JMS Message by setting its JMS Type (abstract public void 
setJMSType(String org) throws javax.jms.JMSException) like 'WAIT_FOR_SOME_TIME'.

2. In Your ProjectConstants program (if any, other wise a global constant) 
create a string constant JMS_MSG_TYPE_WAIT = WAIT_FOR_SOME_TIME.

3. In onMessage 

                public void onMessage(Message message) {

                        try {
                                if 
(ProjectConstants.JMS_MSG_TYPE_WAIT.equals(message.getJMSType())) {
                                        doWaitLogic();
                                }
                                else if (message instanceof TextMessage//or 
some other JMS Message Type) {
                                        doBusiness(message)
                                } 
                        } catch (JMSException e) {
                                logger.error("JMSException", e);
                        }

                }
                
Thank You,
Nag.

Subject: How to disable consumption from one queue "temporarily" ?


Hello all,

We are using ActiveMQ 5.4.2 with the activemq-cpp library 3.2.4.

Our topology is the following :

    * A set of Linux processes (consuming and producing messages) are
      connected to a Broker A.
    * Another set of Linux processes (consuming and producing messages)
      are connected to a Broker B.
    * Broker A and Broker B are connected to each other.


We have activated the producer flow control on all queues (we do not use topics 
at this point) and all our messages are non-persistent messages.
I believe this is the only deviance from the default configuration.

My question is the following :
Each process may consume messages from different queues.
What is the "best" way for such consumer to indicate that it does not want to 
receive any new message from a specific queue ?
(But this consumer must keep receiving messages posted on its other queues).


One solution seems to clear the MessageListener for this specific Consumer :
/getConsumer()->*setMessageListener*(NULL);
/
to not receive any message and then later on set again the 
MessageListener when the processing can resume for this queue inside 
this process:
/getConsummer()->*setMessageListener*(this);
/
However in our environment it seems that the /*setMessageListener() 
API*/ must be executed by a thread which can NOT be the ActiveMQ thread 
calling the onMessage callback function.
So is there an easier solution which does not require this extra 
application thread ?


Thank you very much for your help,

Sylvain
