/** For application servers, <CODE>Connection</CODE> objects provide a special
* facility
* for creating a <CODE>ConnectionConsumer</CODE> (optional). The messages it
* is to consume are
* specified by a <CODE>Destination</CODE> and a message selector. In addition,
* a <CODE>ConnectionConsumer</CODE> must be given a
* <CODE>ServerSessionPool</CODE> to use for
* processing its messages.
*
* <P>Normally, when traffic is light, a <CODE>ConnectionConsumer</CODE> gets a
* <CODE>ServerSession</CODE> from its pool, loads it with a single message, and
* starts it. As traffic picks up, messages can back up. If this happens,
* a <CODE>ConnectionConsumer</CODE> can load each <CODE>ServerSession</CODE>
* with more than one
* message. This reduces the thread context switches and minimizes resource
* use at the expense of some serialization of message processing.
