/**
* A client uses a {@code QueueReceiver} object to receive messages that have been delivered to a queue.
*
*
* Although it is possible to have multiple {@code QueueReceiver}s for the same queue, the Jakarta Messaging API does not define how
* messages are distributed between the {@code QueueReceiver}s.
*
*
* If a {@code QueueReceiver} specifies a message selector, the messages that are not selected remain on the queue. By
* definition, a message selector allows a {@code 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 {@code QueueReceiver}s without a message selector will read messages in message producer
* order.
*
*
* Creating a {@code MessageConsumer} provides the same features as creating a {@code QueueReceiver}. A
* {@code MessageConsumer} object is recommended for creating new code. The {@code QueueReceiver} is provided to support
* existing code.
