6.3. Exclusive Queues

Exclusive queues can only be used in one session at a time. When a queue is declared with the exclusive property set, that queue is not available for use in any other session until the session that declared the queue has been closed.

If the server receives a declare, bind, delete or subscribe request for a queue that has been declared as exclusive, an exception will be raised and the requesting session will be ended.

Note that a session close is not detected immediately. If clients enable heartbeats, then session closes will be determined within a guaranteed time. See the client APIs for details on how to set heartbeats in a given API.
