Timeout in a MessageListener

Question

Hi,
I have a class that implements MessageListener. I lookup a queue and assign a message listener to it.
      QueueConnectionFactory queueConnectionFactory = (QueueConnectionFactory)jndiContext.lookup(CONNECTION_FACTORY);
      Queue queue = (Queue) jndiContext.lookup(UNDELIVERED_QUEUE_NAME);
      QueueConnection queueConnection =  queueConnectionFactory.createQueueConnection();
      QueueSession queueSession =  queueConnection.createQueueSession(false,
          Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
     QueueReceiver receiver = queueSession.createReceiver(queue);
      receiver.setMessageListener(this);
      queueConnection.start();
...I would like to know if I can assign a timeout to the message listener, so after certain time the listener stops listening the queue. If this is not possible, is there a way where I can get all the messages from the queue and close the connection ?
Thanks !

Well, I could do like this but I don�t know when the messages have been processed so I could stop listening. What I have done is getting an Enumeration of the messages. Then I loop the enumeration and in very loop I get a message :
      QueueConnectionFactory queueConnectionFactory = (QueueConnectionFactory)jndiContext.lookup(CONNECTION_FACTORY);
      Queue queue = (Queue) jndiContext.lookup(UNDELIVERED_QUEUE_NAME);
      QueueConnection queueConnection =  queueConnectionFactory.createQueueConnection();
      QueueSession queueSession =  queueConnection.createQueueSession(false,
          Session.AUTO_ACKNOWLEDGE);
      QueueBrowser browser = queueSession.createBrowser(queue);
      QueueReceiver receiver = queueSession.createReceiver(queue);
      queueConnection.start();
      Message reply = queueSession.createMessage();
      Enumeration enum = browser.getEnumeration();
      int i=0;
      while (enum.hasMoreElements()) {
        Object o = enum.nextElement();
        i++;
        reply = (Message)receiver.receive();
        processMessage(reply);
      }anyway, thanks for your answer !
