how to get my message selector to work

[ilangocal]

Hi
I have used a message selector in my MDB as follows:

@ActivationConfigProperty(propertyName = "messageSelector", propertyValue = "sessionID='1234567')
(all on one line)

on the servlet client that sends the messages I have the following:

ObjectMessage message = session.createObjectMessage();
QueueingEntity e = new QueueingEntity();// I create an entity bean to perist messages in a database

e.setSessionID(sessionID);
message.setObject(e);
messageProducer.send(message);

Now how can I carry out message filtering in the MDB so that if I type in '123456789' the MDB should filter that message out and not accept it.

How can i test to see that a message containing '123456789' is not accepted when the MDB is reading the queue?

Thanks

JMS selectors work on message properties, not attributes of your object.

See the JMS javadoc for more details.
