New bie question - Running producer and two instance of consumer

["AMARNATH, Balachandar" <BA...@airbus.com>]

Hi,

I am new to activeMQ (for any other messaging system). I want to use this messaging system for distributed processing of large number of files. I wish to split my application in to two pieces namely producer and consumer, so that one instance of producer generates messages that several instance of similar consumers can process it. The consumers are supposed to be distributed machines. I wrote a simple producer and two consumers (as attached). The producer generates 100 messages (simple text messages) and consumers take 'different' processing times to process every message. Hence, I expect, the consumer that take less time to finish processing would process more messages while the other one process less number of messages. However, when I ran them, I saw the number of messages is evenly splitted and processed. Can someone give me a hint here, how this can be achieved? And where I am going wrong?



With thanks and regards
Balachandar
