# Exclusive Queues
Exclusive queues are special queues which route all messages to only one
consumer at a time.
This is useful when you want all messages to be processed serially by the same consumer,
when a producer does not specify [Message Grouping](message-grouping.md).
An example might be orders sent to an address and you need to consume them
in the exact same order they were produced.
Obviously exclusive queues have a draw back that you cannot scale out the consumers to
improve consumption as only one consumer would technically be active.
Here we advise that you look at message groups first.
## Configuring Exclusive Queues
Exclusive queues can be statically configured using the `exclusive` boolean property:
```xml
<configuration ...>
<core ...>
...
<address name="foo.bar">
<multicast>
<queue name="orders1" exclusive="true"/>
</multicast>
</address>
</core>
</configuration>
```
Specified on creating a Queue by using the CORE api specifying the parameter `exclusive` to `true`.
Or on auto-create when using the JMS Client by using address parameters when creating the destination used by the consumer.
```java
Queue queue = session.createQueue("my.destination.name?exclusive=true");
Topic topic = session.createTopic("my.destination.name?exclusive=true");
```
Also the default for all queues under and address can be defaulted using the address-setting configuration:
```xml
<address-setting match="lastValueQueue">
<default-exclusive-queue>true</default-exclusive-queue>
</address-setting>
```
By default, `default-exclusive-queue` is `false`. Address wildcards can be used
to configure exclusive queues for a set of addresses (see [here](wildcard-syntax.md)).
## Example
See `Exclusive Queue` in [examples](examples.md).
