Message selectors

To filter the messages you receive and to subscribe to specific message topics, use a message selector.

Message selectors must conform to the JMS selector specification, which is a subset of the SQL-92 syntax—see the JMS 1.1 Specification.

Adding a message selector to an MDB

Edit the user configuration script for the EJB-JAR in which the MDB component is defined.

For example, to receive all published messages with the stock symbol “SY,” use the following message listener configuration:
```
<setProperties component="ejb.components.cmstests.MyTopicListener">
   <messageListener queue="" topic="StockPrice" 
     selector="symbol = 'SY'" durable="true" threadCount="1" /> 
</setProperties>
```
