Method Detail

execute

void execute(ActiveMQDestination destination,
             javax.jms.MessageListener listener)
             throws Exception

Executes the query for messages; each message is passed into the listener

Parameters:

destination - the destination on which the query is to be performed

listener - is the listener to notify as each message is created or loaded

Throws:

Exception

validateUpdate

boolean validateUpdate(Message message)

Returns true if the given update is valid and does not overlap with the initial message query. When performing an initial load from some source, there is a chance that an update may occur which is logically before the message sent on the initial load - so this method provides a hook where the query instance can keep track of the version IDs of the messages sent so that if an older version is sent as an update it can be excluded to avoid going backwards in time. e.g. if the execute() method creates version 2 of an object and then an update message is sent for version 1, this method should return false to hide the old update message.

Parameters:

message - the update message which may have been sent before the query actually completed

Returns:

true if the update message is valid otherwise false in which case the update message will be discarded.
