JMS Priority set by a custom header

Question

Is there a way to prioritize the messages in the JMS broker according to a custom header value?

For Example: "purchase date". get oldest first etc.

Please advise.

Answer 1

There is no way to do this within the boundaries of the JMS standard. It doesn't support custom routing rules like this.

However, many products that implement JMS support some kind of rules-based routing/prioritizing like this, so you should look into your products documentation.
