allowing a client or MDB to specify by message header, messa

[ilangocal]

Hi
I am running JBoss 5 CR2 on Windows Vista.
I have a Message Driven that is supposed to listen to message on a queue. Now my effort would be try and implement a Message Selector that would allow this MDB to read the message header off the messages on the queue and pick one up that matches the string in the message selector.

After some research I found an issue on the Jboss JIRA regarding a selectorparser class and also an issue regarding "Port JMS selector parser code from JBossMQ". I thought these issues were relevant to what I want to do.

How would I start implementing my requirement? Is there a sample that I can start out with?

thanks in advance

You can specify a messageSelector property and give it a value to check. Example, here is the MDB declaration:

@MessageDriven(activationConfig = {
 . . .
 @ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "messageSelector", propertyValue = "Stuff = 'interesting'")})
public class SomeMdb implements MessageListener { ... }

To get this MDB to process a message, the client must set the 'Stuff' property on the message:

message.setStringProperty("Stuff", "interesting");

Thanks for that tip.
I am trying to test it out now.

I have a JMS client servlet sending messages to queue. I would like to set properties like a JMSPriority Header with a certain value, JMSMessageID, JMSXDeliveryCount.

How can I do this in @activationConfig in the MessageBean and in the Message Producer Servlet?

thanks
