Gary-
Right, exclusive consumer won't work as I still want to have multiple
consumers.
I don't have a requirement to start these consumers after the container is
started, you would have to change the system property and redeploy your app
or restart your container.
I'm not that familiar with using properties via jmx/mbean, I followed a
similar pattern using the system property that other tools like Ehcache and
Terrcotta use for controlling some global functionality.
