Specify an activation property for shared subscriptions

[gtudan]

JMS 2.0 introduced an API for shared durable subscriptions (see section 8.3.4).

It would be nice to have a standardized activation property for this feature, so that MDBs can also utilize it. Section 13.1 (MDB activation properties) doesn't have anything like that.

ActiveMQ Artemis uses shareSubscriptions:

Personally I think we should aim to do this for a modernized CDI based listener and not focus on MDB any more.

A similar feature is available in Apache Pulsar (using the Starlight for JMS binding)
