Is it possible to have Gatling JMS listen for messages only?

Question

I've been exploring the use of Gatling for JMS testing as part of broader perf testing of our AUT. I've played with the example as found at https://gatling.io/docs/current/jms/ , and have successfully had gatling create a queue on my test ActiveMQ server, and read the message.

However, actual AUT testing needs dictates that services in our app will create the msgs on our ActiveMQ server - and all I want in my Gatling code is make REST calls to our services that generate the messages, then the Gatling JMS code should pick up the messages, parse them as appropriate, and when I find a certain message, move on to the next bit of the test.

As per the gatling link above, "Currently, requestReply and send (fire and forget) requests are supported." Does this mean what I am trying to do is impossible? Does this mean I have to create the messages with Gatling, but not necessarily look for a reply?

If it is possible, I assume I could split the example I've been playing with into 2 separate exec actions - one to send, and one to receive? But how?

Thanks!

No, it's not possible at the moment (Gatling 3.3).
