Configure multiple consumers for amqp in mule esb

Question

I have the following configuration to create a connector for rabbitMQ in mule but the problem is that only one consumer is created, I was wondering if its possible to configure mule to create more than one consumer at a time.

 <amqp:connector name="amqpfiledetailConnector" 
                host="${rabbitmq.host}" 
                port="${rabbitmq.port}" 
                username="${rabbitmq.username}" 
                password="${rabbitmq.password}" 
                activeDeclarationsOnly="false" />

I was able to achieve the multiple consumer creation using Spring framework but that means the entry point to the application will be a Java class(except if there is a way to transfer the request back to mule once the message has been read from the queue). I want to start the flow from mule so at to do other things.

Since version 3.6.0 AMQP transport supports numberOfConsumers, here is the doc reference . For example:

<amqp:connector name="amqpfiledetailConnector" 
                host="${rabbitmq.host}" 
                port="${rabbitmq.port}" 
                username="${rabbitmq.username}" 
                password="${rabbitmq.password}" 
                numberOfConsumers="4"
                activeDeclarationsOnly="false" />
