Chapter 4. Configuring Messaging Destinations

To add a JMS queue, use the jms-queue command from the management CLI:

jms-queue add --queue-address=myQueue --entries=[queue/myQueue jms/queue/myQueue java:jboss/exported/jms/queue/myQueue]

Note how the entries attribute is a list containing multiple JNDI names separated by a single space. Also note the use of square brackets, [], to enclose the list of JNDI names. The queue-address provides routing configuration, and entries provides a list of JNDI names that clients can use to look up the queue.

Reading a Queue’s Attributes

You can read a queue’s configuration using the jms-queue command in the management CLI.

jms-queue read-resource --queue-address=myQueue

Alternatively, you can read a queue’s configuration by accessing the messaging-activemq subsystem using the management CLI:

/subsystem=messaging-activemq/server=default/jms-queue=myQueue:read-resource()
{
    "outcome" => "success",
    "result" => {
        "durable" => true,
        "entries" => ["queue/myQueue jms/queue/myQueue java:jboss/exported/jms/queue/myQueue"],
        "legacy-entries" => undefined,
        "selector" => undefined
    }
}

Attributes of a jms-queue

The management CLI displays all the attributes of the jms-queue configuration element when given the following command:

/subsystem=messaging-activemq/server=default/jms-queue=*:read-resource-description()

The table below provides all the attributes of a jms-queue:

Adding or reading a topic is much like adding a queue:

jms-topic add --topic-address=myTopic --entries=[topic/myTopic jms/topic/myTopic java:jboss/exported/jms/topic/myTopic]

Reading a Topic’s Attributes

Reading topic attributes also has syntax similar to that used for a queue:

jms-topic read-resource --topic-address=myTopic

entries
  topic/myTopic jms/topic/myTopic java:jboss/exported/jms/topic/myTopic
legacy-entries=n/a

/subsystem=messaging-activemq/server=default/jms-topic=myTopic:read-resource
{
    "outcome" => "success",
    "result" => {
        "entries" => ["topic/myTopic jms/topic/myTopic java:jboss/exported/jms/topic/myTopic"],
        "legacy-entries" => undefined
    }
}

Attributes of a jms-topic

The management CLI displays all the attributes of the jms-topic configuration element when given the following command:

/subsystem=messaging-activemq/server=default/jms-topic=*:read-resource-description()

The table below lists the attributes of a jms-topic:

A queue or topic must be bound to the java:jboss/exported namespace for a remote client to be able to look it up. The client must use the text after java:jboss/exported/ when doing the lookup. For example, a queue named testQueue has for its entries the list jms/queue/test java:jboss/exported/jms/queue/test. A remote client wanting to send messages to testQueue would look up the queue using the string jms/queue/test. A local client on the other hand could look it up using java:jboss/exported/jms/queue/test, java:jms/queue/test, or more simply jms/queue/test.

Management CLI Help

You can find more information about the jms-queue and jms-topic commands by using the --help --commands flags:
