Java EE (Java Enterprise Edition) General Discussion

Hello all:

I guess this question was asked before, for that I apologize, but I did a search and found nothing so far.

I am actually using solace as the message broker in my project. When a response is published on a topic, there are several waiting client instances listening to that topic. Are these consumers competing for whatever message published on this topic? Say, if instance#1 get the message first but this is not what it wants, will this message get lost in a black hole, or other instances still have a chance to get hold of it?

I guess this is a common scenario, so sorry for the naive question.

Thanks,
John
