JMS user hierarchy password, system

amy

In my application I have customers, locations, and users.  

I'm clear as to how to deny connections to clients based on their user name and password but I don't understand how to route messages server side to only users which A) belong to the appropriate customer/location and B) have appropriate user rights.

For instance... depending on what's happening within the system, users might need alerts.  I only want certain users to recieve these particular alerts even though all users might be subscribing to the alert topic because they recieve different alerts.  

Security is important so client-side message selectors are out.  Not to mention with thousands of users that would be a network hog.

Thanks in advance

Use roles on a destination so that only users with the right location/role can view messages on a certain topic. Then use a selector to filter messages on the topic/queue by userID etc.

Can't the process generating the alert know whether or not its required for a certain user? Or have a filter - send the alerts to a queue then consume the messages and only send to a user if some criteria/rule is met.
