Spring Factory to create synchronous consumers listening to the queue

Question

I am new to Spring Boot and coding for my college project work and I need some help. I want to create a spring boot application, which starts a factory class that will create and starts 10 synchronous clients. These clients must be listening constantly to the queues. Below is my code. I am not sure, if I am on right track and need some help. Is my implementation correct? How can I make sure that 10 synchronous clients are created? How do I use identifier to identify which message client processed the message ?

Application.java

@SpringBootApplication
public class Application {

    @Bean
    public MesFactory mesFactory(){
        return new MesFactory();
    }

    public static void main(String... args) {
        SpringApplication.run(Application.class, args);
    }
}

public class MesFactory {

    private ExecutorService executorService = 

    Executors.newFixedThreadPool(10);

    @PostConstruct
    public void build(){
        executorService.execute(() -> new MesClient());
    }
}


@Component
@EnableJms
public class MesClient {

    private static final Log log = LogFactory.getLog(MesClient.class);

    @Autowired
    private JmsTemplate jmsTemplate;

    @JmsListener(destination = "incoming-messages-queue")
    public void receive(String message) {
        System.out.println("Received <" + message + ">");
        doPerformMessage(message);
    }

    public void doPerformMessage(String message){
       // parsing happens here
    } 

    @Bean
    ConnectionFactory connectionFactory() {
        return new RMQConnectionFactory();
    }

    @Scheduled(fixedRate = 100000000L)
    public void sendMessage() {

        String message= "Hi World";

        // Coerce a javax.jms.MessageCreator
        MessageCreator messageCreator = (Session session) -> {
            return session.createTextMessage(message);
        };

        // And publish to RabbitMQ using Spring's JmsTemplate
        jmsTemplate.send("incoming-messages-queue", messageCreator);
    }

}

Set the boot properties...

spring.jms.listener.concurrency=10
spring.jms.listener.max-concurrency=10

The listener container will start 10 threads - each consuming from the same queue; they will invoke the JMS listener method.

See the Spring Boot documentation - Application Properties and scroll down to the JMS section.
