Multiple OracleAQ listeners in the same jms container in Spring?

Question

Is it possible to create multiple listeners (for different topics) within once defined jms container in spring?

Assume following configuration...

<bean id="jmsContainer" class="{container class here}">
...
</bean>

and

<bean id="messageListener" class="org.springframework.jms.listener.adapter.MessageListenerAdapter">
...
</bean>

Is it possible to have more than one messageListener* in jmsContainer?

If it is... Is it good pattern to do so or it is better idea to use as many containers as many listeners you need?

Answer 1

No; you need a container for each listener. Even when using the namespace for convenience...

<jms:listener-container ...>
   <jms:listener .../>
   <jms:listener .../>
</jms:listener-container />

...you get a seperate container for each listener. The namespace is just a convenient way to set common attributes for each container.
