Hello! I'd like to confirm my understanding of dispatch policies in ActiveMQ.
When we deal with *queues* and have strictOrderDispatch="true" set in policyEntry - then ActiveMQ ensures that all messages are processed strictly in order. If there are multiple consumers then: - ActiveMQ will feed #prefetch-limit messages to the first consumer - wait until this consumer acknowledges/processes all prefetched messages - after that: feed messages to the next consumer - wait.. repeat.. Is the above description generally correct? If we deal with queues and have an exclusive consumer, then (ignoring priorities for now) ActiveMQ feeds all messages to this consumer and all other consumers get nothing. Thus effectively messages are processed strictly in order. My understanding is: for queues both strictOrderDispatch and exclusive consumer produce the same effect = messages are processed strictly in order. Please, correct me if I'm wrong.
