[jboss-user] [Messaging, JMS & JBossMQ] - Re: Sequential processing of messages with the same Key

I am missing something totally. A queue can process multiple messages at once, depending on the size of the thread pool, right?. Doesn't this create concurrency? If I understood the whole JMS clustering thing then the cluster should make sure that those processes get distributed one the cluster. If I want to make it more scalable then I only make sure that the queue can be processed by more threads and that more machines are available on the cluster. Lets forget about the DB for now, because that will become the bottleneck eventually (if you don't let it scale ;)). But I see where you are going. Doesn't your solution also mean that a subscription can only have one thread to make sure that it processes all the messages sequentially? Because that would indeed be the solution.
