public class SimpleMessageListenerContainer
extends AbstractMessageListenerContainer
implements ExceptionListener

Message listener container that uses the plain JMS client API's MessageConsumer.setMessageListener() method to create concurrent MessageConsumers for the specified listeners.

This is the simplest form of a message listener container. It creates a fixed number of JMS Sessions to invoke the listener, not allowing for dynamic adaptation to runtime demands. Its main advantage is its low level of complexity and the minimum requirements on the JMS provider: Not even the ServerSessionPool facility is required.

See the AbstractMessageListenerContainer javadoc for details on acknowledge modes and transaction options. Note that this container exposes standard JMS behavior for the default "AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE" mode: that is, automatic message acknowledgment after listener execution, with no redelivery in case of a user exception thrown but potential redelivery in case of the JVM dying during listener execution.

For a different style of MessageListener handling, through looped MessageConsumer.receive() calls that also allow for transactional reception of messages (registering them with XA transactions), see DefaultMessageListenerContainer.

Method Details

setConnectLazily

public void setConnectLazily(boolean connectLazily)

Specify whether to connect lazily, i.e. whether to establish the JMS Connection and the corresponding Sessions and MessageConsumers as late as possible - in the start phase of this container.

Default is "false": connecting early, i.e. during the bean initialization phase. Set this flag to "true" in order to switch to lazy connecting if your target broker is likely to not have started up yet and you prefer to not even try a connection.

See Also:

• AbstractJmsListeningContainer.start()
• AbstractJmsListeningContainer.initialize()

setRecoverOnException

public void setRecoverOnException(boolean recoverOnException)

Specify whether to explicitly recover the shared JMS Connection and the associated Sessions and MessageConsumers whenever a JMSException is reported.

Default is "true": refreshing the shared connection and re-initializing the consumers whenever the connection propagates an exception to its listener. Set this flag to "false" in order to rely on automatic recovery within the provider, holding on to the existing connection and consumer handles.

Since:

5.1.8

See Also:

• onException(JMSException)
• Connection.setExceptionListener(jakarta.jms.ExceptionListener)

setConcurrency

public void setConcurrency(String concurrency)

Specify concurrency limits via a "lower-upper" String, e.g. "5-10", or a simple upper limit String, e.g. "10".

This listener container will always hold on to the maximum number of consumers setConcurrentConsumers(int) since it is unable to scale.

This property is primarily supported for configuration compatibility with DefaultMessageListenerContainer. For this local listener container, generally use setConcurrentConsumers(int) instead.

Specified by:

setConcurrency in class AbstractMessageListenerContainer

setConcurrentConsumers

public void setConcurrentConsumers(int concurrentConsumers)

Specify the number of concurrent consumers to create. Default is 1.

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. This would lead to concurrent consumption of the same message, which is hardly ever desirable.

setTaskExecutor

public void setTaskExecutor(Executor taskExecutor)

Set the Spring TaskExecutor to use for executing the listener once a message has been received by the provider.

Default is none, that is, to run in the JMS provider's own receive thread, blocking the provider's receive endpoint while executing the listener.

Specify a TaskExecutor for executing the listener in a different thread, rather than blocking the JMS provider, usually integrating with an existing thread pool. This allows to keep the number of concurrent consumers low (1) while still processing messages concurrently (decoupled from receiving!).

NOTE: Specifying a TaskExecutor for listener execution affects acknowledgement semantics. Messages will then always get acknowledged before listener execution, with the underlying Session immediately reused for receiving the next message. Using this in combination with a transacted session or with client acknowledgement will lead to unspecified results!

NOTE: Concurrent listener execution via a TaskExecutor will lead to concurrent processing of messages that have been received by the same underlying Session. As a consequence, it is not recommended to use this setting with a SessionAwareMessageListener, at least not if the latter performs actual work on the given Session. A standard MessageListener will work fine, in general.
