Disable a single consumer for a Queue from ActiveMQ

Question

I have a queue with several consumers and I'd like to disable one from ActiveMQ.

I've looked into using JMX but haven't been able to see anything that would allow me to do this.

Ideally this would be without changing any of the code at the consumer.

Answer 1

The ActiveMQMessageConsumer has no operations exposed via JMX to stop the process. The available options are:

1. Stop the consumer via the ActiveMQMessageConsumer.stop method or just kill the process.
2. Stop the ActiveMQ connection via the ActiveMQConnection.stop method. However, this is a heavy-handed measure because other JMS clients could be using sessions created from the connection.
