How to programatically start/stop message consumption when using @MessageMapping annotation?

Question

Am using the @MessageMapping(queue_name) annotation along with the spring-aws-cloud library to consume messages from two SQS queues.

I see that the SimpleMessageListenerContainer is used as the listener container for both message queues. There is a start() and a stop() method on the container, but I believe that will start/stop consumption from both queues.

I wanted to know if there is a way to programatically start/stop queue consumption for the queues separately. How can that be achieved?

Use start(queueName) and stop(queueName) function of SimpleMessageListenerContainer to start and stop individual queues programmatically.

These do work, but do you have any idea thy they take ~20 sec to complete, I had to increase the timeout. – Borislav Stoilov Apr 21 '20 at 17:01

You need separate containers for each queue to start/stop listening independently.

From a quick look at the code, it appears to me that there is only one listener container when using the annotation to create listeners.

I suggestion you open an issue/feature suggestion in GitHub; I suggest you post the issue number back here so interested parties can follow the discussion.
