Starting to use Active MQ

[pjackson <pa...@boeing.com>]

 I'm running the example producer/consumer code that comes with Active MQ
4.0.1, and have a basic question.

If I start only one consumer, it recieves all 10 messages the produce
publishes.  If I start two consumers, the consumers receive only half the
messages (5), and 1/3 the messages if I have the consumers.

I would have thought each consumer would receive all 10 (which is what I
want).  

Can anyone help.
Thanks,
Paul

The consumers are connecting using the queue semantics ... in which case a
message is delivered to one-of-them.

If you publish to a Topic, then all the consumers receive a copy of each
message.

Hope this helps.
