2.14. Domain

A 'domain' identifies another AMQP 1.0 compatible process and provides qpidd with sufficient information to connect to it. A domain has a name and a url and may also specify sasl_mechanisms, username, password.

Domains can be added, deleted and listed using the qpid-config, for example:

qpid-config add domain my-domain --argument url=some.hostname.com:5672

Once a domain has been created, links between nodes within that other process and nodes within qpidd can be established in either direction, by creating 'incoming' or 'outgoing' link objects. For example:

qpid-config add incoming incoming-name --argument domain=my-domain --argument source=queue1 --argument target=queue2

This command cause messages to be pulled from queue1 in the process identified by my-domain and directed into queue2 on the qpidd instance against which the command is run.

Note that incoming and outgoing links are *not* automatically re-established if the connection is lost for any reason.
