Browsing JMS Queues


A client application can create a QueueBrowser to examine messages in a queue without actually deleting them. The QueueBrowser contains the getEnumeration() method, which returns an enumeration of the queue’s messages:

QueueBrowser browser = session.createBrowser(queue);
Enumeration enum = browser.getEnumeration();
while (enum.hasMoreElements()) {
    System.out.println("Message on queue is: " + iter.nextElement());
}

This version of XAP JMS does not support message selectors. For more details, see the JMS Known Issues and Considerations.

The JMS specifications do not define whether the QueueBrowser represents a snapshot of the queue, or whether the QueueBrowser dynamically updates it. However, with the Enterprise Messaging Grid, a snapshot is taken when the call is made to getEnumeration().
