Enable "sticky" function to tie the JMSXGroupID to a single consumer

We know MQ Supports MSXGroupID, but doesnt have option of "sticky" function to
tie the JMSXGroupID to a single consumer.

Active MQ has this, and have noticed many companies that are using IBM MQ need this

    Hello, Thank you for raising this request. I have gone through the request and trying to understand more on the "Sticky" function. MQ does support JMSXGroupID using which sender applications set a groupId (any meaningful value) on messages and send them to a queue. The consumer applications can select messages based on the same groupId.

    For example:
    Sender application does the following:

    			TextMessage textMsg = session.createTextMessage(messagesInGroup);
    textMsg.setStringProperty(JmsConstants.JMSX_GROUPID, "STOCK_IBM");

    Receiver application does the following to select messages based on the group Id. The consumer will receive only those messages that match the specified groupId.

    		JmsQueue destination = (JmsQueue) consumerSession.createQueue("EXAMPLE.QUEUE");
    consumer = consumerSession.createConsumer(destination, "JMSXGroupID='STOCK_IBM'");

    The above basically ties a group of messages to a single consumer. Thought this is what you were looking for. I did read through the ActiveMQ link you provided and felt the groupId behavior is same as IBM MQ. Can you please clarify on what you are expecting from "Sticky" function?

    Thank you
