Dynamically creating/deleting topics

[mryb]

Hi,
I'm using the JMS Server MBean to create topics dynamically (via createTopic()). Everything is working okay, but I'd like to verify that this is a correct use of the function. (In the source it says it should only be used to bi-pass JNDI lookup, but another forum discussions said this was okay.)

As well, once I've created dynamic topics, how can I programmatically delete them? There doesn't seem to be any function to close a topic on the JMS server MBean.

The reason I'm not using temporary topics is that I need to allow access to multiple subscribers on the topic, not just the creator. As well, I need to keep the topic connection open for an indefinate amount of time (I'm not sure that this is possible with temp topics ?)

Hints/Comments very appreciated!

Thanks,
Mary

As soon as I posted this I found the solution...
See the JMX web interface for the jms server (port 8082) for details. thanks

Well, unfortunetly the solution I found doesn't allow me to recreate a Topic of the same name after it's been destroyed.

I have rc1 of JBoss 3.0.0 testing both through the JMX web interface, and programmatically, I get this exception when I call createTopic() after having successfully destroyed it via destroyTopic():

javax.jms.JMSException: This destination has allready been added to the server!

If I do a JNDI lookup of the topic, it doesn't exist, and the server log file says it was successfully destroyed. Is this a bug or am I just missing a step?

Thanks,
Mary

This discussion moved to the dev forum:

And, the bug has been fixed in latest code drop. Thanks!
