How to specify the number of concurrent consumers listening on a JMS endpoint in a Camel route

Resolution

To set the number of concurrent consumers on a camel endpoint one can add the concurrentConsumers=X option within the endpoint URI, e.g:


    activemq:queue:incomingQueue?concurrentConsumers=15

Using this endpoint in a Java DSL


   from(" activemq:queue:incomingQueue?concurrentConsumers=15")
      .to("bean:mySampleBean")

For more information on what options are available on the Camel JMS endpoints see Camel JMS component documentation. The documentation also outlines alternative approaches to setting the concurrent consumers under the section "Concurrent Consuming".
