## javax.jms
Interface QueueReceiver

All Superinterfaces:
  MessageConsumer

    public interface QueueReceiver

extends MessageConsumer

A client uses a `QueueReceiver` object to receive messages that have been delivered to a queue.

Although it is possible to have multiple `QueueReceiver`s for the same queue, the JMS API does not define how messages are distributed between the `QueueReceiver`s.

If a `QueueReceiver` specifies a message selector, the messages that are not selected remain on the queue. By definition, a message selector allows a `QueueReceiver` to skip messages. This means that when the skipped messages are eventually read, the total ordering of the reads does not retain the partial order defined by each message producer. Only `QueueReceiver`s without a message selector will read messages in message producer order.

Creating a `MessageConsumer` provides the same features as creating a `QueueReceiver`. A `MessageConsumer` object is recommended for creating new code. The `QueueReceiver` is provided to support existing code.
