Setting JMS filter (Range filter) - jms

**I am setting JMS filter in Producer side i.e jmsMessage.setObjectProperty("FILTER",filterId1) ...
so this is one to one relationship . i.e. key FILTER is associated with only one value i.e filterId1 ( msg is consumed by consumer which has value as filterid1 )....
but i want one to many relationship , i.e . FILTER is associted with many filterId's (filterId1 or filterId2 or filterId3 or filterId4 or filterId5 )
Consumer having value between any of these filterId's can consume the message .....
is der any functionality in jms if no then how we can achieve it programitically.....**

You can use Between on the filter, but I suspect you should probably use a different queue for your sets. Overusing Filters will give you a bad performance if you have many messages to be scanned.
I would favor Subscriptions with a filter, or simply use multiple queues for the stuff you need.
But that's going a big beyond simply answering your question, a simple answer would be use BETWEEN on the filter clause at your consumer.
(Also: there's no such thing as JMS Filter in Producer. a Filter only applies to a consumer. I assume you meant setting some data that will be used on the filter).

Should I use Azure Topics over Queues?

I understand that Topics have the additional features of subscriptions and filters which Queues do not.
In which case, when would I absolutely need to use a queue over a topic?
For consistency, could I use a topics everywhere including as a replacement for queues?
A topic is not a replacement for a queue. The combination of a topic and a subscription is. A topic is allowing to “replicate” the same message to multiple subscriptions. A subscription what actually holds messages. A subscription is identical to a queue in its attributes and behaviour. You could replace a queue with a topic+subscription combo if you’d like, generating 2 entities per use case instead of a single queue. Just keep in mind there’s a finite number of entities per namespace.

ActiveMQ create hierarchical topics with wildcards

I have read in the ActiveMQ documentation, that subtopics can be created by using wildcards. So for instance I could create the topics:
physicalEnvironmet.Conditions
physicalEnvironmet.Infrastructure
physicalEnvironmet.Location
I could then register to either one of the topics, or to all (physicalEnvironmet.>)
But how is it working for more complex structures, like this:
Would the topic for Flickering be called:
physicalEnvironmet.Conditions.Light.Flickering
And could I still have a precise selection, like only subscribing to topics considered with light:
physicalEnvironmet.Conditions.Light.>
So basically I am asking If there is a level restriction for subtopics and If there is maybe a more easy way to create hierarchical topic orders.
In my 10+ yrs of messaging, every hierarchal topic structure ends up being replaced, b/c the taxonomy never works out. Your overall message pattern suggests a moderate total volume, so I suggest a flexible event model where you use fields to define the variance vs topic names eventType="Environmental" sensorType="Light". This allows you to add new ones and then have the option of filtering out what clients want and do not want without having to mess with the broker.
Another option is to use JMS headers to do the same. This would allow you to use selectors to do broker-side filtering.

Different message types (XMLs) on one TIBCO queue?

I am trying to implement an application(Java) which will subscribe to different message types (XMLs) from other different applications via TIBCO EMS. Each of these message types will have a specific purpose. I am of the opinion that I should have multiple queues with multiple subscribers in my application, however, the TIBCO guy is adamant that there should be only one queue where all of these messages will be published and I will have one subscriber and the subscriber then should have logic to different tasks based on the XML received.
Which approach is better? One with multiple queues and subscribers OR the one queue and one subscriber? Please let me know reasons for the choice.
Thanks!

In general, if the same application is reading all the messages, it is much cleaner for that application to have a single input queue instead of multiple input queues. With multiple then the application will need to have logic to know which order to process the queues and so on. With one input queue, the messaging system can deal with the order of the messages - whether FIFO or by priority etc, and the application can just read the next message and process it.
Use unique message header for each type of xml while sending the message. And use message selectors / filters while receiving the same, so that it can be routed / delegated to the respective handler based on the header value. This way, you will be able to handle different type of xml messages by single queue as well.

Consume multiple messages from a queue in Tibco EMS

Is it possible to consume multiple messages in one call from a Tibco EMS queue. I am using the Receive method of the MessageConsumer class to consume the data currently but this just returns one Message. I'm wondering if there's something that returns an array of Message objects?
Thanks
A queue should not be treated as an inbound array object... mostly because the number of such objects could be massive... and such behaviors would be in direct contradiction with the basic "atomic information piece" notions of messaging. Queues should really be seen as an input "faucet" providing a flux of information.
That said : You might be looking for the javax.jms.QueueBrowser facility object. It IS in contradiction of typical messaging patterns, but can be useful. (Rules are meant to be broken sometimes, are they not ?)
Here is a link to many related examples.
EMS is a JMS provider, so these examples can be used with it.
To retrieve specific messages (to put in an array ?), you could then use a "receive" with message selectors (ex: on the message ID)
UPDATE : There is also this non-jms response : Use the Native EMS API to purge.

Approach for taking action on reception of two different JMS messages

Say I have one JMS message FooCompleted
{"businessId": 1,"timestamp": "20140101 01:01:01.000"}
and another JMS message BazCompleted
{"businessId": 1,"timestamp": "20140101 01:02:02.000"}
The use case is that I want some action triggered when both messages have been received for the business id in question - essentially a join point of reception of the two messages. The two messages are published on two different queues and order between reception of FooCompleted and BazCompleted may change. In reality, I may need to have join of reception of several different messages for the businessId in question.
The naive approach was that to store the reception of the message in a db and check if message(s) its dependent join arm(s) have been received and only then kick off the action desired. Given that the problem seems generic enough, we were wondering if there is a better way to solve this.
Another thought was to move messages from these two queues into a third queue on reception. The listener on this third queue will be using a special avataar of DefaultMessageListenerContainer which overrides the doReceiveAndExecute to call receiveMessage for all outstanding messages in the queue and adding messages back to the queue whose all dependent messages have not yet arrived - the remaining ones will be acknowledged and hence removed. Given that the quantum of messages will be low, probing the queue over and adding messages again should not be a problem. The advantage would be avoiding the DB dependency and the associated scaffolding code. Wanted to see if there is something glaringly bad with this
Gurus, please critique and point out better ways to achieve this.
Thanks in advance!
Spring Integration with a JMS message-driven adapter and an aggregator with custom correlation and release strategies, and a peristent (JDBC) message store will provide your first solution without writing much (or any) code.
