JmsMessageConsumer vs SpiMessageConsumer

[kspreddy]

Hello,

I am not sure of the different between org.jboss.resource.adapter.jms.JmsMessageConsumer and org.jboss.mq.SpiMessageConsumer. (similarly JmsSession vs SpiSession)

Is there any doc that explain when to use what?

The reason why I am asking this question is: Using JmsSession/jmsMessageConsumer creates a seperate thread to listen to the queue where as SpiSession/SpiMessageConsumer won't create extra thread but the same thread is registered as a listener for multiple calls to setMessageListener method.

Thanks,
Siva

The docs will only explain external interfaces for users, and wouldn't mention the specific implementation details, which you are asking about.

Just a guess (since it's been some time), one is used for MDB and the other for message listeners using the plain JMS api. Or I could be mistaken...
