Re: JMS Threading Restriction

[jaya_srini <jy...@Hotmail.com>]

hi

I had a follow up question on this...

If I publish a message within onMessage() then are the following true?

1) if the message is published within onMessage() in the same thread i.e.the
JMS provider owns the onMessage thread and the publish happens in that same
thread, then the message can be published with the same Session.

2) If the message is published in onMessage() but in a separate thread,For
instance, onMessage() calls processMessage() which spawns a separate thread
and the publish happens in that separate thread, then the message needs to
be published with a *different* session

Can someone  confirm/correct the above?

thanks!
jaya
