ActiveMQ support JMS Priority

[furzana]

Hi,

I use activemq 5.3.1. I want to set priority to a message, so that high priority message will get consumed first in a queue.

I did the following code changes,

- enabled explicitQOSEnabled to true

- jmsTemplate.setPriority(9);

- jmsTemplate.afterPropertiesSet();

- TextMessage msg.setJMSPriority(9);

The message is pushed to the queue properly and consumed properly, but the order is not changed. It is consumed in the order i put the messages in the queue.

Have i missed to do any configuration in activemq to support priority?

Is there any other way to set priority to specific messages, so that high priority messages are consumed first?

Thanks

I think priority queues is on the roadmap for ActiveMQ 6.0.
