Controlling the throughput of a queue?

[claudia]

Hi,

is it possible to configure the maximal throughput of a jboss mqueue?

My problem:

For each incoming message, my MDB sends a request to a remote (HTTP)-Server. The remote server crashes under the incoming load. I think the solution could be to restrict the throughput of the queue. (Right?)

Thanks in advance!

Configure the pool of message driven beans to have a stict maximum size, this way you can limit how many message driven beans will be consuming messages concurrectly.

Pool size configuration is covered in the administrators and developers guide.
