Two PostOffices?

[clebert.suconic]

Why do we need to PostOffices on new configurations?


Looking at /src/etc/server/default/deploy/clustered-mysql-persistence-service.xml, it looks like are two PostOffices needed. One for Topics and another one for Queues.

Is there any reason for this?

Yes, one is for queues and the other is for topics.

We need two since it's possible to install a queue and a topic with the same name.

Ah... this is just because of the names... Ok... got it.

I Just wonder if wouldn't be better to use composed object keyts than two PostOffices.

This is just an idea. Something like:

public class Key
{
 String name;
 int type; // 1 for queue, 2 for topic

 ... implementing hashes and equals
}
