Spring JMS ActiveMQ track status of jobs

Question

In my Spring web service there are some asynchronous processes. Client request with some parameters I create a Job object from those parameters and put into a ActiveMQ queue using JMS . So a listener will take those jobs from the queue and process them. Now I need to provide clients a way to track the status of their jobs ( pending, started, finished ). What is the best way to implement this?

I thought I can use JMSTemplate.browse() with a BrowserCallBack but still could not find a way to implement it.

Looks like you need to have a DB to track the job status.

The client just ask the statistics and you select it from DB.

You can use another JMS queue to send the status of job to perstist in onto DB using appropriate listener.

And with that you will have a good loosely-coupling : your first listener won't have a direct connection to the DB service.
