public class DefaultMessageListenerContainer extends AbstractPollingMessageListenerContainer
MessageConsumer.receive()
calls that also allow for
transactional reception of messages (registering them with XA transactions).
Designed to work in a native JMS environment as well as in a Java EE environment,
with only minimal differences in configuration.
This is a simple but nevertheless powerful form of message listener container.
On startup, it obtains a fixed number of JMS Sessions to invoke the listener,
and optionally allows for dynamic adaptation at runtime (up to a maximum number).
Like SimpleMessageListenerContainer
, its main advantage is its low level
of runtime complexity, in particular the minimal requirements on the JMS provider:
not even the JMS ServerSessionPool
facility is required. Beyond that, it is
fully self-recovering in case the broker is temporarily unavailable, and allows
for stops/restarts as well as runtime changes to its configuration.
Actual MessageListener
execution happens in asynchronous work units which are
created through Spring's TaskExecutor
abstraction. By default, the specified number of invoker tasks will be created
on startup, according to the "concurrentConsumers"
setting. Specify an alternative TaskExecutor
to integrate with an existing
thread pool facility (such as a Java EE server's), for example using a
CommonJ WorkManager
.
With a native JMS setup, each of those listener threads is going to use a
cached JMS Session
and MessageConsumer
(only refreshed in case
of failure), using the JMS provider's resources as efficiently as possible.
Message reception and listener execution can automatically be wrapped
in transactions by passing a Spring
PlatformTransactionManager
into the
"transactionManager"
property. This will usually
be a JtaTransactionManager
in a
Java EE environment, in combination with a JTA-aware JMS ConnectionFactory
obtained from JNDI (check your Java EE server's documentation). Note that this
listener container will automatically reobtain all JMS handles for each transaction
in case an external transaction manager is specified, for compatibility with
all Java EE servers (in particular JBoss). This non-caching behavior can be
overridden through the "cacheLevel"
/
"cacheLevelName"
property, enforcing caching of
the Connection
(or also Session
and MessageConsumer
)
even if an external transaction manager is involved.
Dynamic scaling of the number of concurrent invokers can be activated
by specifying a "maxConcurrentConsumers"
value that is higher than the "concurrentConsumers"
value. Since the latter's default is 1, you can also simply specify a
"maxConcurrentConsumers" of e.g. 5, which will lead to dynamic scaling up to
5 concurrent consumers in case of increasing message load, as well as dynamic
shrinking back to the standard number of consumers once the load decreases.
Consider adapting the "idleTaskExecutionLimit"
setting to control the lifespan of each new task, to avoid frequent scaling up
and down, in particular if the ConnectionFactory
does not pool JMS
Sessions
and/or the TaskExecutor
does not pool threads (check
your configuration!). Note that dynamic scaling only really makes sense for a
queue in the first place; for a topic, you will typically stick with the default
number of 1 consumer, otherwise you'd receive the same message multiple times on
the same node.
Note: Don't use Spring's CachingConnectionFactory
in combination with dynamic scaling. Ideally, don't use it with a message
listener container at all, since it is generally preferable to let the
listener container itself handle appropriate caching within its lifecycle.
Also, stopping and restarting a listener container will only work with an
independent, locally cached Connection - not with an externally cached one.
It is strongly recommended to either set "sessionTransacted"
to "true" or specify an external "transactionManager"
. See the AbstractMessageListenerContainer
javadoc for details on acknowledge modes and native transaction options, as
well as the AbstractPollingMessageListenerContainer
javadoc for details
on configuring an external transaction manager. Note that for the default
"AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE" mode, this container applies automatic message acknowledgment
before listener execution, with no redelivery in case of an exception.

Specify an alternative TaskExecutor
for integration with an existing

managed in a specific fashion, for example within a Java EE environment.
A plain thread pool does not add much value, as this listener container
will occupy a number of threads for its entire lifetime.

setCacheLevel(int)
public void setCacheLevel(int cacheLevel)
Default is CACHE_NONE
if an external transaction manager has been specified
(to reobtain all resources freshly within the scope of the external transaction),
and CACHE_CONSUMER
otherwise (operating with local JMS resources).
Some Java EE servers only register their JMS resources with an ongoing XA
transaction in case of a freshly obtained JMS Connection
and Session
,
which is why this listener container by default does not cache any of those.
However, depending on the rules of your server with respect to the caching
of transactional resources, consider switching this setting to at least
CACHE_CONNECTION
or CACHE_SESSION
even in conjunction with an
external transaction manager.
public int getCacheLevel()
public void setConcurrency(String concurrency)
This listener container will always hold on to the minimum number of consumers
(setConcurrentConsumers(int)
) and will slowly scale up to the maximum number
of consumers setMaxConcurrentConsumers(int)
in case of increasing load.
setConcurrency
in class AbstractMessageListenerContainer
public void setConcurrentConsumers(int concurrentConsumers)
Specifying a higher value for this setting will increase the standard level of scheduled concurrent consumers at runtime: This is effectively the minimum number of concurrent consumers which will be scheduled at any given time. This is a static setting; for dynamic scaling, consider specifying the "maxConcurrentConsumers" setting instead.
Raising the number of concurrent consumers is recommendable in order to scale the consumption of messages coming in from a queue. However, note that any ordering guarantees are lost once multiple consumers are registered. In general, stick with 1 consumer for low-volume queues.
Do not raise the number of concurrent consumers for a topic, unless vendor-specific setup measures clearly allow for it. With regular setup, this would lead to concurrent consumption of the same message, which is hardly ever desirable.
This setting can be modified at runtime, for example through JMX.
setMaxConcurrentConsumers(int)
public final int getConcurrentConsumers()
This returns the currently configured "concurrentConsumers" value; the number of currently scheduled/active consumers might differ.
public void setMaxConcurrentConsumers(int maxConcurrentConsumers)
If this setting is higher than "concurrentConsumers", the listener container will dynamically schedule new consumers at runtime, provided that enough incoming messages are encountered. Once the load goes down again, the number of consumers will be reduced to the standard level ("concurrentConsumers") again.
Raising the number of concurrent consumers is recommendable in order to scale the consumption of messages coming in from a queue. However, note that any ordering guarantees are lost once multiple consumers are registered. In general, stick with 1 consumer for low-volume queues.

public void setMaxMessagesPerTask(int maxMessagesPerTask)
"receiveTimeout"
property).
Default is unlimited (-1) in case of a standard TaskExecutor, reusing the original invoker threads until shutdown (at the expense of limited dynamic scheduling).
In case of a SchedulingTaskExecutor indicating a preference for short-lived tasks, the default is 10 instead. Specify a number of 10 to 100 messages to balance between rather long-lived and rather short-lived tasks here.
Long-lived tasks avoid frequent thread context switches through sticking with the same thread all the way through, while short-lived tasks allow thread pools to control the scheduling. Hence, thread pools will usually prefer short-lived tasks.
This setting can be modified at runtime, for example through JMX.
public final int getMaxMessagesPerTask()
public void setIdleConsumerLimit(int idleConsumerLimit)
This limit is used by the scheduleNewInvokerIfAppropriate()
method
to determine if a new invoker should be created. Increasing the limit causes
invokers to be created more aggressively. This can be useful to ramp up the
number of invokers faster.
The default is 1, only scheduling a new invoker (which is likely to be idle initially) if none of the existing invokers is currently idle.
public final int getIdleConsumerLimit()
public void setIdleTaskExecutionLimit(int idleTaskExecutionLimit)
The default is 1, closing idle resources early once a task didn't
receive a message. This applies to dynamic scheduling only; see the
"maxConcurrentConsumers"
setting.
The minimum number of consumers
(see "concurrentConsumers"
)
will be kept around until shutdown in any case.
Within each task execution, a number of message reception attempts (according to the "maxMessagesPerTask" setting) will each wait for an incoming message (according to the "receiveTimeout" setting). If all of those receive attempts in a given task return without a message, the task is considered idle with respect to received messages. Such a task may still be rescheduled; however, once it reached the specified "idleTaskExecutionLimit", it will shut down (in case of dynamic scaling).
Raise this limit if you encounter too frequent scaling up and down. With this limit being higher, an idle consumer will be kept around longer, avoiding the restart of a consumer once a new load of messages comes in. Alternatively, specify a higher "maxMessagesPerTask" and/or "receiveTimeout" value, which will also lead to idle consumers being kept around for a longer time (while also increasing the average execution time of each scheduled task).
This setting can be modified at runtime, for example through JMX.

This number will always be between "concurrentConsumers" and "maxConcurrentConsumers", but might be higher than "activeConsumerCount" (in case some consumers are scheduled but not executing at the moment).
public final int getActiveConsumerCount()
This number will always be between "concurrentConsumers" and "maxConcurrentConsumers", but might be lower than "scheduledConsumerCount" (in case some consumers are scheduled but not executing at the moment).
public boolean isRegisteredWithDestination()
This method may be polled after a start()
call, until asynchronous
registration of consumers has happened which is when the method will start returning
true
– provided that the listener container ever actually establishes
a fixed registration. It will then keep returning true
until shutdown,
since the container will hold on to at least one consumer registration thereafter.
Note that a listener container is not bound to having a fixed registration in
the first place. It may also keep recreating consumers for every invoker execution.
This particularly depends on the cache level
setting:
only CACHE_CONSUMER
will lead to a fixed registration.
