Hi,

I came to know that setting priority to the JBoss ESB messages are possible.

I'm sorry but there is no generic priority setting. But you can specify a custom priority property on a message and have a Content Based Router (CBR) that takes different actions depending on this priority. The CBR could for example route messages with a higher priority to a different service for express processing.

The quickstart 'business_rules_service' does CBR using Drools and routes bases orderPriority. Though not exactly the same as you are asking playing with it might give you a better idea on what you can do for your use case.
